Halloween Movie Marathon
Break out the classics! Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown, Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride...You get the idea. Make some of the spooky mocktails from above and have a Halloween movie marathon! Don't forget the popcorn!
Pumpkin Slime
Make some pumpkin guts slime! I always loved playing with slime when I was a kid and it's still a child favorite!
Ingredients
- pumpkin
- 2 bottles of clear elmers glue
- 1-2 cups of liquid starch
Instructions
- Remove the guts from your pumpkin and put in a large glass bowl
- Dump both bottles of clue and 1 cup of starch into the bowl and mix everything for about 15 minutes. If it sticks to your hands add more liquid starch and repeat the process until it no longer sticks to your hands.
- Have fun and play!
Haunted Houses
If your kids are a little older take them to one of the local haunted houses! There's the Field of Screams and Carnevil right here in Eau Claire!
I hope you have a very spooky, fun filled Halloween!
Cheers!
