We want to throw a Halloween Party for friends and family, adults and kids. I wanted to have a craft or two for the kids to do, and to serve really cute theme foods, snacks and drinks. Any suggestions, advice?

My son has a Halloween party every year!!! It gets bigger and better everytime!
One thing we'll be doing this year is decorate your own cookie. Make kindof big sugar cookies in shapes of pumpkins/ghosts, and set out the sprinkles, icing, gels, candies, etc...
-OR- carve a pumpkin contest for the older kids.
We've had all the kids sit in a circle and we've told ghost stories.
I make the yard a spooky as possible (our party is outside). I use either dry ice (careful with that), or a fog machine, and set it up outside. I also, get big pieces of foam boards (at a craft store for real cheap), and cut out tombstones. I spray paint them gray and write with a back sharpie. I set them up in their own little graveyard...I also have a man that loks like he's coming up from out of the ground (Target $10). I hang skelitons and bats from the ceiling. Lighting is everything. You don't want bright lights everywhere. Cut up pumpkins, and put battery lights inside for safe lighting.
This year I'm going to make a Huanted Tunnel, using big appliance boxes,wooden platforms (for scrap wood) and balck fabric. Good Luck!!
Forgot to tell you about the cake! It's graveyard cake.
Bake any kind of cake, I used chocolate, in a 13x9 inch cake pan.
Frost with chocolate icing. Crunch up Oreo cookies really good, and sprinkle all over the top of the cake, so it looks like dirt. Using think paper, like construction or index cards, cut out tombstome shapes, but make them a little long b/c you're going to stick them in the cake a lil so they'll stand (color them and write on em). Then get those lil pumpkin shaped candies (like candy corn) and place them thruout the cake how you like, then place a few of the little "ghost" peeps (foamy marshmellow candy),a nd place a few around the tombstones. It was a BIG hit!!!!!

A big hit at a Halloween party we held a couple of years ago was a Mummy Wrap -- form teams of two and give each team a roll of toilet paper. The first team to use their whole roll to wrap their partner up as a mummy wins a prize.
A great craft idea is to make slime, like you might find in a mad scientist's lab. You can find lots of great recipes for slime on line. Ours used Borax laundry soap and white glue, if I'm remembering correctly.
Have fun at your party. Happy planning!
