Bats

Puff Ball Bats Too cute to be creepy these little puff ball bats are a great project. Decorate my house with bats. T has made so many of these cut out bats my walls are covered in a cloud. I know I could remove them at the end of the season but somehow I never […]

Marshmallows

Marshmallow science This made me think of Billy from Hocus Pocus for some reason. It’s a really easy project but it’s fun, and you probably already have marshmallows in your pantry right? Why do marshmallows puff up in the microwave? Draw some faces on a couple and watch. Halloween Marshmallow Science Experiment It just wouldn’t […]

Witch Crafts

Witch hats, we’ve been repeating this project for years now. I always think maybe we won’t do it this year but T asks for it. It’s fun to see how the designs have changed over the years. Make a little witch origami. Fold up a friendly little paper witch. Find directions here https://krokotak.com/2020/10/origami-witch/ Blow Art […]

Witch Tea

Let’s make macarons. We love macarons and with practice we are getting better and better at making them. This year we decided to tint our macarons green. It is Witch week. Why do we associate green with witches? Time for Witches Tea. Baking and Tea are a big part of our Halloween season. T loves […]

Spiders and Black Cats

How about spider webs? Why are spiders associated with Halloween? We discovered this craft last year and it didn’t quite turn out right. The black glue is supposed to stick to the binder sheet allowing you to create a sun catcher. However we discovered that when the glue dries it peels off of the plastic […]

Halloween Baking

Baking is a big part of the holiday season. Each year I look forward to making our favorite cookies and treats as well as discovering new recipes. For the first week of Halloween School we made Pumpkin Custard, Halloween Sprinkle Sugar Cookies, and Cauldron Cakes. T is now quite accomplished at baking.

Spooky Season Tye Dye

It’s that time of year again. The days are getting shorter, there’s a chill in the air… well maybe not that last bit. But it is definitely time for ghosts, pumpkins, costumes, monsters, and Halloween Fun. If you have been following along you may realize that my kids aren’t actually kids anymore. My oldest graduated […]

Happy Halloween

The Spooky Season passed in a whirlwind. Another Halloween of Tricks, Treats, Family, Friends, and traditions. Of course it wouldn’t be Halloween without Jack O Lanterns. We carved our pumpkins on Saturday night. For breakfast Halloween morning I made pumpkin cinnamon rolls with maple cream cheese icing. These were very nice. Then it was time […]

Halloween Tea

Halloween Tea Time, our last tea of Halloween School. We have our Pumpkin Doughnuts, Cucumber sandwiches (these are currently the favorite), and Cinnamon spice herbal tea from our favorite tea shop. We read a few Halloween poems while we sipped our team. Perfect for a fall afternoon.

Apples and Pumpkins

I’ve seen it debated apples vs pumpkin. I’m not going to wade into those testy waters, but Caramel apples are a big part of Halloween. Personally I prefer to dip my apples in caramel rather than coat the outside. This homemade caramel sauce is so good I don’t know why I spent so many years […]
