Lets get ready for halloween....food ideas

There are loads of great halloween party food ideas around at the moment and whilst us adults might find some of them a little bit off putting (to say the least!) kids just love it - the more gruesome the better.......

so here are a few ideas I have found recently that you can make with your kids to have or take to a party this halloween....

and these worms are so easy to make just pour jelly into some bendy straws - let it set and yuck - wiggly worms.....

Mixed-Berry Shake

Milk shakes are great fun to make with the kids and adding ice-cream makes it even better.

Try this simple recipe this weekend to help prolong that summer feeling...

This will serve about 6

Takes about 10 minutes to do....

You will need...

1 litre tub vanilla ice cream

6oz mixed red berries - those frozen ones are good for this

1 pint milk

Some fancy dancy straws - if you wish!

In a blender, combine half of the ice-cream, berries and milk. Puree until smooth - ypu may need to stop occasionally to give it a stir - Pour into glasses and repeat with the remaining ingredients

See simple

Have a great weekend

 

Shadow Puppets

I love a good puppet show and when I was a kid I used to make loads of shadow puppets and patterns on the wall. My step son's also loved it and we would spend hours making cutouts for a play on a wet day....

It's really easy and fun way of pretend play, making up stories and putting on a show with the kids for family & friends - you can even make popcorn & 'sell' tickets for the event to make it all a bit more fun.....
