**This is a repost from last year
We have been having a ton of halloween fun here at the Bowman House. My girls just LOVE all things spooky, and have been creating all kinds of spooky fun. I am not one who is creative enough to come up with a project, so I depend heavily on FamilyFun.com! It doesn’t matter what the season, the Family Fun website always has great, simple ideas.
Here are a few that we tried recently:
Salt Dough Ghosts and Paper Bag Trees
I can’t believe we have never made anything with salt dough before! It is a cup of flour, cup of salt and a half of a cup of water. Mold into any shape and microwave until hardened! So easy! The plan was to just create ghosts, but my girls wanted to get more creative, which was great, it kept them busy the entire evening. The paper bag tree is a cute idea, but all that twisting left my wrists tired, so we decided to make just one! I think making mini trees with brown paper lunch bags would be much better for little fingers and wimpy wrists.
Gotta have a snack in the middle of all this creepy craziness! Apples and Almonds, can’t get much healthier than that!
These were so much fun! My girls spent almost 2 hours at the table creating these, and every few minutes there would be a trio of giggles drifting from the dining room. They just loved finding silly face parts to glue on to their bags. Aren’t they funny?
What would I do without Family Fun? What did moms do without computers back in the day? I am very thankful for ours, its kinda SCARY thinking about doing life without it!
BOO!
