How can I make Halloween puffy ghost for preschooler class?

You might confuse about what kind of activity you can do to introduce your kids to Halloween. Crafting is such a good idea for this one. It can be by constructing puffy ghosts to hang in their study room.

First, you need to provide any equipment and materials such as the ghost template, cotton, black paper, glue, and thick string. Print the template and make its cutout. Let your kids glue the cotton in the entire ghost template.

Make sure all of the parts are full of cotton. To train them in cutting, you can leave the eyes and mouth template for your kids. You can draw it first, and let your kids cut it with your guideline.

Allow them to place the eyes and mouth into the cotton ghost. After they finished, help them to stick the string behind the ghost cotton.

Hang it and let it make your kids' room spookier!

What Halloween snacks I can serve at the party?

Party is incomplete without snacks. Therefore, at the Halloween party, you also should prepare some food to taste by the guest. Here are some menu recommendations.

Serve chocolate cookies with candy eyes and melted white chocolate which can make your tongue dance.

Meringue ghost tarts are rich in chocolate combined with a caramel taste on the tarts. Don’t forget to add a ghost cake topper to it! It is such a tasty dessert to place on your party table.

Making red velvet cake is also perfect due to its delicate but looks like blood at the same time.

Halloween cake pops with creepy garnish make the guest shiver with the looks but also feel the awesome flavor on it.
