Here is a quirky little idea – have some Bat Pinatas or Bat Goodie Bags for your kids’ Halloween party. Easy to make and fun to take home!

I love this craft – as it is easy for toddlers and big kids to help make AND it is a great “recycled craft”. Use all jars and tissue paper to make these effective Jack O’Lanterns. We made ours 4yrs ago and they are still going strong!

We do like to get crafty in the kitchen too.. here are some and surprisingly SIMPLE to make “Frankenstein Cookie Pops“. Yum.
