        I always have a fall festival on a Friday in October. This year we are having it on Halloween. Parents are strongly encouraged to attend (I have it at 3pm) and usually all come and leave with their children after the festival.
        This year we will have: (These are all games from places like Oriental Trading and Lakeshore that I have purchased over the years.)

        Bounce House
        Candycorn Bowling
        Ring Toss
        Barn Beanbag toss
        Spin the Wheel
        Plinko
        Monster Golf
        Cookie Decorating
        Monster Hand craft (popcorn and candycorn in food service gloves)


        Here is a picture from last year's festival:

          I'm doing very little this year. I only have one with the ability to possibly grasp the idea. But, he has rage issues, and on the advice of his therapist, we have suspended any activities. Depending on his mood, we may try a small craft. Our Halloween comes that evening. All DC kids and their siblings will have a goody bag waiting on them. They trick or treat our house and get a bag of cool stuff from the Witch.

            Mine are 2.5 and under. We are having a PJ day, watching a Halloween cartoon and decorating cookies. For the cookies, I give them a plate with a cookie, glob of frosting and Popsicle stick. Then I let them go to town.

                Good idea, I might steal this! Our Halloween party is Thursday, so pj's on Halloween would be cool!

                  I was just going to add that I like to go to the Dollar Store and buy glow sticks, glow paint, and glow in the dark toys. I turn my laundry room into a "haunted house," since it's the darkest room in the house, but I think I'm taking my kids here, instead!!!! ::::

                    We are walking through the nearby clinic/hospital where we walk to each week for tea/coffee and taking them treats instead of trick or treating. Checked with them this morning and they are super excited and asked if the kids could have treats. I told them it wasn't necessary but if they choose to bring treats I prefer non-food treats. We are actually giving them oranges with jack-o-lanturn faces drawn on them. ETA: The kiddos and I will wear our costumes that morning while we walk there and back. The school kids get parties in their classrooms so after school we will have our typical Friday afternoon playtime while the house cleaners are here for the end of the week cleaning.

                        All I know so far is that it's going to be on Halloween and it's a pajama party. Treats, games, and other details will be thrown together this weekend(yep procrastinator right here)from all my saved stuff in Pinterest. They have some really cute stuff.

                        In fact, those pretzel/cheese witch brooms are on there too.
