Kids Party Food - Halloween snack apples and candyfloss

In the Halloween party held on last Sunday, I had made a funny and healthy snack for kids.

That was the teeth made by apples and candyfloss!

I tried to make this because I thought that this was easy to make.

But I was wrong, this one required some techniques to make it well.

Most important, I had to find a way on preventing the apples turning brownish cos we would only eat the party food after playing games.

Thanks for Colors on the Wall (https://www.facebook.com/coloronthewallsetsy)! She taught me to sprinkle a little pineapples juice over the apples. The acid helps to prevent apples from turning brown.

This really works! I did that and the apples only turn a little brownish after two hour's game time.

When I cut the apples into slices, I found that cutting the apples horizontally, instead of vertically, could have lips in better round shapes. Because if you cut the apples vertically, the apple is wider on the top and narrower at the bottom. The lips shapes will look strange.

Originally, I thought that I could just use toothpicks at both ends of the teeth to fix the positions of the teeth. But I was wrong. When I did that, the teeth in the middle went in and out as the surface of the apple was wet and slippery.

Thus, finally, I used half toothpick to fix one tooth, and used two toothpicks to fix both sides of the mouth.

Fortunately, this looked great and the kids liked them!

How do you think about it?? 

Kids Crafts - Halloween

Last Sunday, we held a small Halloween Party at home.

We had invited a few friends to our party.

Only a few friends could join because now is the testing or examination period, most of the children need to study at home.

My son is having tests too. But I want him to relax, instead of just study and study.


Before the party, my son and I decorated the house.

I had seen a photo from the web that some people decorated their house doors with funny faces.

This gave me inspirations. I decided to decorate the fridge and piano with funny faces.

We used colored papers, old magazines and paper plates to make them.

Then, stick them with blu-Tack, so that no mess!

How do you think??

Kids crafts - Halloween skeleton

Below was the homework my son done in last Halloween.

It was the story book cover.

He drew this by himself! I asked him why he knew how to draw the skeleton?

He said he saw this in a book that he read.

I think it is truly great! I like the sharp colors that he used around the skeleton.

But when you see carefully, there is a problem with its teeth!

How come it has three rows of teeth?? lol!

My son also laughed when I pointed out this careless mistake, lol!

How do you think about this skeleton??

Kids Crafts - Halloween plastic coasters

I always want to find a kind of home decorations for festivals, which can be reused.

I discover it now! It is the DIY plastic coasters.

In Halloween, I can design related pictures with my son and put them on table as home decorations.

After the Halloween party, I can take the Halloween pictures out, punch a hole, attach a string and make it as a bookmark.

Then, we can redesign our own coasters again with drawing, sewing, photos, colored sand, etc. 

If not using as coasters, I think this can also be used as photo or picture frames. We can stick a piece of cardboard at the back of the coaster to make it stand.

In fact, I think that it is great to give the coasters to guests as souvenirs/ gifts. They must like them!
