Gooey Halloween Food Ideas

Keeping with the Halloween theme, here are some more Halloween cooking activities that are ideal for boys (and their pesky sisters) to get involved in.  Boys love to get into messy and gooey things and they love to be grossed out.  Some of these food ideas are perfect for their ghoulish Halloween.

Consider dead fly and pig’s blood icecream.  Grab a witch's cauldron of icecream from the supermarket and then add in the dead flies by using chocolate chips.  Top with the pig's blood which is simply strawberry topping.  With a bit of imagination I am sure you can come up with other concoctions.  Shhh - don’t tell them about the little coloured snakes lurking inside the icecream either.  Let that be a tasty surprise.

Maybe some witches' heads are your preferred choice.  Put a ball of icecream on a plate then place a small icecream cone on top.  It has just the right shape for the perfect hat.  Then use some coloured sprinkles for hair and cake decorations for the eyes, nose and mouth.

Another great idea is a variation of a frog in a pond.  Prepare some different coloured jellies and drop some sour worms (from the supermarket confectionery aisle) into the jelly as it sets.

To create a real ghoulish meal you can combine spaghetti and meatballs.  One idea is to get a couple of meatballs and make them into the shape of a brain and then use the spaghetti and sauce as blood and veins.  Alternatively you can arrange the meatballs on a plate so they look like eye balls.  You could use some round pieces of cheese as the eye itself and then add the spaghetti as the blood and guts. 

Use a bit of imagination and everyone can have some fun on Halloween making these spooky recipes.

Halloween - When You Don’t Want A Costume

How about the Dracula Tee Red by Littlehorn?  This is coloured blood red and has a print of a funky owl sitting on a branch of a tree.  Also ideal for the warmer months that are coming up.

The Halloween Crew Sweater by Littlehorn could be another scary addition for Halloween night.  Comes is grey marle and charcoal with black trimmings and has a print of bats and a spider on the front.

The Diamond Dragon Spearmint Tee or Diamond Wolf Tee by Minti could also be part of a costume for Halloween night.  With a print of a dragon and a wolf respectively these are sure to add some fun on Halloween night.

Good Apples Mighty Stars – Complete Preschool Naptime Set

Sometimes getting children to settle to sleep in unfamiliar surroundings can be hard to do.  The strange noises and people around them can be unsettling and distracting.

We have found that if your child has something very familiar with him at nap time, he is more likely to settle.  That is why we are such fans of the naptime set.

The patterns of the blanket and the familiar scent of the sheets is often enough to allow your child to relax enough to settle into sleep.  Little hands will feel the texture of the blanket and feel at home.

This naptime set is perfect when you send your child to preschool as it comes in a self-contained cotton drawstring bag.  The set is also brightly coloured and coordinated that is sure to make your little one happily sleep and feel warm and cosy.

The naptime set includes:

·         1x Durable Cotton Drawstring Bag

·         1x Naptime Sheet Set (Flat and Fitted sheet in one)

·         1x Soft Pillow and 1x Pillowcase

·         1x Snugly Naptime Fleece Blanket.

The sheet and pillowcase are made from 100% cotton with a 250 thread count that means it will not irritate the skin and feel nice and smooth.  The drawstring bag also has two velcro pockets to include any extras such as a favourite toy or maybe a dummy.  There are also labels that make it easy to identify and not get mixed up and the fleece blanket is large enough to allow for plenty of snuggly room.

This naptime set is also ideal when going on holidays or visiting friends.
