Today in the Nestle Family’s Week Long Halloween Party we are talking Ghoulish Celebrations. Â I know a lot of people, adults and kids alike, love to throw parties at Halloween time. Â It’s fun to dress up and get together with friends. Â When you are planning these celebrations, especially the ones that are kid geared, it’s fun to have crafts, goodie bags and games. Â It makes the party a little more fun and a little more memorable.
Here are a few of the party ideas I am looking forward to trying this year (all for the lovely and talented Martha Stewart of course, click the links to take you to the how to).

Another thing that will be present this halloween season is the Bone Chillin’ Brew from Nestle Family.
Image from NestleFamily
Here’s how to make it:
- Gather items needed  and ingredients for the punch. ( 3 cups of water, 3 plastic gloves, 3 rubber bands or twist ties, 2 bottles (64 fl. oz. each) of Punch Flavor NESTLÉ® JUICY JUICE® All Natural 100% Juice chilled, 1 can (12 fl. oz.) of frozen lemonade concentrate, slightly thawed, & 4 cans (12 fl. oz. each) of lemon-lime soda, chilled)
- To make the hands pour water into gloves, adding enough water to fill the gloves loosely but not so full that the fingers will not move. Fasten gloves with rubber bands or twist ties. Line baking sheet with paper towels. Place filled gloves on paper towels. Freeze for 3 hours or until firm.
- To make the punch combine Juicy Juice and lemonade concentrate in large punch bowl. Gradually stir in soda. Carefully cut gloves off hands with scissors. Float hands in punch.
Super simple and very “ghoulish”! Â A perfect addition to your halloween fun!

When my kids were younger we did lots of fun craft activities. One in particular they liked was making a pumpkin from a paper plate. I gave them a bunch of torn pieces of orange paper that they put all over the plate. Then they cut out eyes, nose and mouth for a face. Then we would cut out a piece of brown paper for a stem. The paper plate gives them boundaries to make a good size/shape pumpkin. You could even add some green curling ribbon to the stem.

Using one garbage bag, stuff with newspaper to make large, round shape. Close bottom using packing tape.
lawn spider
Take 4 garbage bags and cut in half down the middle of the long side. Tape sides cut closed. You will then have 8 strips with an open end. Stuff the open ends with newspaper half way. Twist the bag (for knee joint) then continue stuffing until full. Tape off end.
On round garbage bag, tape eyes cut from from white construction paper – or other white materials. Eyes can be decorated with permanent marker to make eyeballs or eyelashes.
Take your spider parts outside and assemble. You should have the body and 8 legs. Prop the legs up against the body, or tape to the body.
this is cute

I think bobbing for Apples is a fun party game.
janetfaye (at) gmail (dot) com
One of the best Halloween parties I have been involved with is with our local Community Center. Everything was free to the children in the area; popcorn machine, apple bobbing, haunted house (not scarey)other games and lots of fruit and candy for the children. Prizes were given to all the children that came (over 75 children). It was fun for the children (up to age 14) and rewarding for all our volunteers and donors of gifts for the children.

We do a treasure hunt through the neighborhood on halloween and the adults help spook the kids out.
Bobbing For Apples is the best for Halloween parties.
janetfaye (at) gmail (dot) com
idea- have your own spook house set up(maybe in the garage or basement) with attractions such as A pumpkin patch with all the names of the guests at the part written onto cut out paper mache pumpkins, hanging dangling ghosts from the rafters, a dracula asleep on his slab, the invisible man, Large spider with it’s family displayed against the wall, the headless horseman and others.
emmaspeel(at)gmail.com
I remember going to a party where they had it in their basement and they had smoke of some sort blown into the room. The smoke made like a haze and really added to the scary mood.
Thanks so much.

I had a Halloween party for my son last year and we covered boxes in orange and black paper, cut a small hole in the front and stuffed them with different things such as grapes and more. The kids had to guess what was in them, we said eyeballs were the grapes, and on.

At church we do a Trunk or Treat where everyone decorates their trunks and hands out candy, It it tons of fun!
i use the pumpkin as my theme for halloween parties — pumpkin bread, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin shaped cheeseball, and a pumpkin shaped pinata.
My favorite is making a plate of eyeballs by filling canned lychee fruits with strawberry jam and blueberries. I’m so making that for lunch tomorrow…
A great idea is a chocolate pudding with cookie crumbs and gummy worms in it. It makes it look like mud.

Just adding a strobe light outside makes your house looked very creepy.

A friend of mine makes finger cookies which are pretty cool looking.
I liked getting laytex gloves and fill them with water/tie. Freeze them then take them out. Cut away glove and you have frozen hands. Put them in a bowl of red liquid (or water w/red coloring) and it looks like severed hands and blood.

I love to make halloween themed snacks/goodies. One of my favorite is broomstick cookies.
The best thing I’ve seen is a cake I make for our Halloween party:
Bake a rectangle white cake. Round off the end of one side of the cake for the ghost’s head. On the other end, cut half circles for the hem of the sheet the ghost wears. For the eyes, use half of an empty egg shell for each eye. Place a sugar cube in each eye and add 2 drops each of vanilla extract. Light each cube with a match and the eyes glow! 😉
i’ve seen people have make your own scarecrow halloween parties for families..and i always think that is cool and fun

We used to get a pile of those little mini-pumpkins (actually gourds) and draw faces on them with markers, add yarn hair, sequins, etc. More personal and less messy than carving a pumpkin!
The other day on Craftster I saw a recipe for Jello worms that look extremely realistic. Here’s the link- http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=361862.0

I have never been to a party, but the ones that have a 70’s or 80’s theme look really fun to me.
We do bobbing for donuts with the kids and their friends. You get a long board and tie long strings from it and secure the board above somewhere and tie the mini donuts at the end of the string. They have to eat the donuts from the string with their hands behind their backs.

I have to say that punch with the rubber glove hands is a great idea! My favorite party idea is bobbing for apples.

The best Halloween party idea, hmmm. I think I have always enjoyed the “mist” effects…very eerie. 🙂 Thank you.
I love to make pumpkin sandwich cookies (cream cheese filling) and squirt some whipped cream on top to make it look like a ghost, and then just add eyes with candy sprinkles. Very cute, and fast.

Martha Stewart’s decorating ideas for Halloween are always the best. They have a refined air to them, such as the table setting pic you show above. I will never forget her Haunted Equestrian costume on the cover of one of her magazines. Perfect!

We played a fun game where you hang doughnuts from a string and you have to eat it without using your hands or dropping any of it on the floor.
Bobbing for apples, plastic mini pumpkins, and rubber ducks!!!! Its great for the younger party age!
My favorite thing is to set up a craft area and I buy little pumpkins and squash and have a ton of decorating things like-felt, glitter, stickers, markers, etc and everyone gets to decorate one to bring home.

I saw a great idea on the mad scientist, cool not cheesey with “specimins” such as dinosaur foot prints in cookies.
The funnest halloween party idea i’ve seen is where you stick your hand in a box and feel eyes (olives) or brains (clumped spaghetti).
We love to have Pumpkin Painting Parties for Halloween

Serve spooky drinks in “specimen jars.” Pour fruit drinks in jars and add gummy brains or critters. Put the lid on before serving. I’ve seen Mason jar-style mugs at the dollar store before; those would be good for little hands.
We do a game where you make things that are fake bowls of “gross stuff”. Like cold grapes in jelly for eyeballs, spaghetti for brains, etc. Then each person is blindfolded and they put their hand in the bowl and try to guess what it is supposed to be.

I went to a halloween party that was a blast The guest dressed up to play the game clue you got an invitation and on it said Doctor or lawyer or maid, or KILLER. It started out with a fun dinner party eating some awsome food with a glorous table decorated with pumpkins, gords, candles. Was such a blast and at the end we got these cute gift bags with the Game Clue in it, A halloween scrapbook and a link to where the photos of the party would be posted so we could order them to do our scrapbooks,

We actually had a living laboratory set up complete with mad scientist, potions, gross body parts, Frankenstein type creation, creepy dolly, zombies etc. I think we scared the older kids and adults more than the little ones because we were really still til they got close enough to try to take the treats. 😉

I like the idea that many merchants have about having Trick or Treat nights in the shopping centers. This is especially good in areas where sidewalks are not really present very much.

Ohhh, there’s so many! My favorite is to make witch’s fingers. You can use sugar cookie dough, we use an almond flavored cookie dough. Shape like fingers and press slivered almonds on the top like a nail. Kids love them!

We love to use the candy molds that you put pretzels in and make fingers!
Have people dress up to a theme from a movie-ie like Gone with the Wind-Fave game for kids wrap the mummy, with toilet paper
Not to be a braggart, but my hubby does the BEST decorations! Last year he went with the theme of “Psycho.” His decor is always themed. We had a full shower he made out of scrap wood and bloody hand prints on the curtain, running water out of a showerhead, and overflowing “bloody” sink with mop and bucket, and the scene of Norman sinking the victim’s car playing on a loop in our sliding glass door (as big as too) via our projector…was awesome and all outside!
BTW…this was not for a party but for trick or treat…I’ve never really done the party thing before…hope that is OK!

We used to tell a “scary” story while everone’s eyes are closed and pass around the “parts” to the story – ex: cooked cold spaghetti for intestines, peeled grapes, for eye balls, etc. After the story was done each person had to guess what each part really was – the one with the most correct answers wins.

I went to a party once that had the graveyard set up in the front and they had it all dark except a colored light on a life-sized witch. If you dared to get to close, the witch would jump at you. It scared everyone. It was a huge hit.

I think the best Halloween ideas are the traditional ones, like bobbing for apples.
The best party ideas I’ve seen are costume parades and lots of tasty holiday treats like decorated sugar cookies
I love making our own candy apples, the kids can decorate them anyway they want! Thanks for the chance!

We have a neighbor that made an ELABORATE haunted house at her own house and garage after her kids became teens. They’d decorate and the teens and their friends would scare kids as they came through. There was always a line to go through. THanks.
