PARTY DETAILS, as told by Nichole…

This was a fun party to celebrate all things fall.  My 2 year old thinks Halloween is “scary” so this was more about fun and crafts.

Crafts:

• Make your own bird feeder (pinecones, peanut butter, birdseed, and string)
• Apple Stamps (I cut apples in half and let them dip in paint and stamp the paper)
• Put the Leaves on the Tree.  (we had a bare tree print out and lots of paints.  The kids used q-tips to put the leaves on the branches)\

Games:

• Eat the donuts (off the trees)
• Potato sock racing
• Don’t fall on the spiders. (a low balance beem that the kids would walk across.  Large spiders and webs were underneath)
• Ball Toss (into a jack-o-lanterns mouth)
• Bounce house with slide

Food:

• Brats, chili, & Local Beer for the adults
• Boxed lunches for the kids (PB&J, juice, pirate booty)

DIY Crafts:

• Buntings
• Spider lollipops
• Mummy chocolate bars
• Signage for games
