Sounds so fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-party-in-june#post-2911665 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 08:56:33 +0000 Mommy Finger 2911665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great ideas! I can do that. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-party-in-june#post-2911664 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 08:51:32 +0000 josina 2911664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This does sound super fun! With 5 year olds I imagine they'll entertain themselves pretty easily. </p> <p>For my son's 5th we did a camping theme and the 'activity' was stickers similar to these (not halloween theme): <a href="https://www.amazon.com/SAVITA-Halloween-Stickers-OLantern-Pumpkin/dp/B07W75MSLG/ref=sr_1_9?crid=2TSUFG29BU9MX&#038;keywords=halloween+stickers+for+kids&#038;qid=1584020734&#038;sprefix=halloween+sticker%2Caps%2C177&#038;sr=8-9" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/SAVITA-Halloween-Stickers-OLantern-Pumpkin/dp/B07W75MSLG/ref=sr_1_9?crid=2TSUFG29BU9MX&#038;keywords=halloween+stickers+for+kids&#038;qid=1584020734&#038;sprefix=halloween+sticker%2Caps%2C177&#038;sr=8-9</a></p> <p>If you don't have them come dressed up - any of these masks would be fun and double as favors: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=felt+masks+for+kids&#038;ref=nb_sb_noss_2" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/s?k=felt+masks+for+kids&#038;ref=nb_sb_noss_2</a> (we did the woodland animals for ds's bday).</p> <p>You could have a table with orange/black/green play dough to make frankensteins and pumpkins, or slime. </p> <p>Sugar cookies would be fun too in fun halloween shapes, just have the kids frost them. </p> <p>And a fun halloween-themed lunch, crescent mummy hot dogs, dirt cake, etc.</p> <p>I wouldn't worry too much about entertaining the kids... just having friends and your son's toys to play with will probably be plenty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-party-in-june#post-2911663 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 08:46:07 +0000 PinkElephant 2911663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love this!!! Here are a few ideas:</p> <p>- temporary tattoo/face paint station (manned by your nieces)<br /> - create-your-own gross pudding cup/cupcake with eyeball candies, gummy worms, red gel icing, etc.<br /> - creepy relay race - I did this for DD’s class party. Each team had a bowl of gross decor (eyeballs, spiders, rats, etc.) and a skeleton hand (half a set of Halloween salad tongs), and had to take turns carrying the items using the hand from one bowl to another set up across the room.</p> <p>Your bag decorating/trick or treat ideas are great also, and I like the mummy game. Also, re: piñata, we do them all the time with plastic wiggle bats and it has been totally fine, but I admit my parties are girl-heavy, so maybe it’s different! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-party-in-june#post-2911658 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 08:22:41 +0000 Ajsmommy 2911658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh how fun!! My DD bday is early-ish Nov and I am hopeful someday she'll want a Halloween party :)</p> <p>-Bobbing for apples<br /> -Gross feeling station (rubber balls = eyeballs, cold noodles = guts, chips = toe nails)<br /> -Make a mummy contest (3-4 kids wrap one in tp) &lt;&lt;as long as there is tp to be had&gt;&gt; </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-party-in-june#post-2911655 Thu, 12 Mar 2020 08:05:45 +0000 Mommy Finger 2911655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is dead set on having his 5th birthday at our house with a Halloween theme. While I admire his creativity, I'm more of a pay money to have a party not at my house so I don't have to think of ideas on how to entertain tiny people and clean up before and after. Any ideas? I'm guessing it'll be between 15-20 kids and I'm thinking it'll be an optional drop off party. I figured I would pay my nieces to help out run some activities. </p> <p>The only thing DS has asked for is trick or treating and a pinata. I saw Amazon has the pinatas with the pull strings as there is no way I'm letting 5 year olds swing bats around each other. For trick or treating, I was thinking that we could do a craft where I could get cheap bags that they could decorate with stamps and stickers and then use that bag to go around to stations in our backyard that would be manned by my nieces and other party helpers?</p> <p>Otherwise, I'm sort of stumped as to how to entertain them for the rest of the time. Most of the games I see would only work for small groups of kids and for short bursts of time so I was thinking we could split them up and then rotate them around.</p> <p>My other idea was to have them decorate cookies and feed them lunch. :)</p> <p>Has anyone been to any good Halloween parties or any good parties at the home in general and have suggestions? I'm not a pinterest mom. :) </p>
