Happy Halloween everybody!!! We are having a GREAT Halloween so far :) Caleb is counting down the minutes until "showtime". I can't wait to post their pictures of their costumes tomorrow.
Being that it is a Halloween, we skipped nap and did a fun Halloween craft... Spooky Masks!!!
They were quick, easy, cheap, and Caleb is really having some fun with them.
Supplies: Colored felt hot glue and gun elastic black permanent marker candy (optional ;-))
First, fill your mouth with lots of candy.
Decide what kind of masks you want. We wanted a skeleton skull (as requested by Caleb), a Frankenstein monster, a ghost, and a pumpkin. 2 small ones for the kiddos and two larger ones for the parents. I pulled up a photo on my phone and guesstimated as I cut. These masks are very forgiving!
Couple of nostrils hot glued here...
Some scary details drawn on there...
Then I sewed elastic to the sides and voila! Spookiness on the go! Repeat for each mask, adding whatever details you would like! Frankenstein is my fav :)
You can't see it here, but Lorelei was totally laughing under her mask! I think she was trying to figure out what was going on.....either that or the felt was tickling her :)
We hope you all have a fun and safe and SPOOOOOOOOKY Halloween!!! What are you and your kids dressing up as for Halloween???
