by | 9 Comments

The picture-perfect pumpkins took just 24 hours to carve with scenes including the chilling beam in the alien film classic, The Thing (1982), the eerie resurrection of the beloved cat in Stephen King’s Pet Sematary (1989), the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man storming the streets of New York for Ghostbusters (1984), Carrie (1976) drenched in pig’s blood during her ‘time-to-shine’ prom moment, and the spine-chilling mask from Halloween (1978).Got a pumpkin to carve tonight? While a simple Jack O’Lantern is perfect for kids to make if you fancy trying something a bit more impressive then I’ve teamed up with Sky Cinema Halloween to share some fantastic Halloween film inspired pumpkin carving ideas that will make your house or party look amazing!

Easy Zombie Craft for Kids

by | 3 Comments

Since I told my son I had an idea for an easy zombie craft for kids he wouldn’t stop asking me when we could make it, I did have to point out a few times that sensible things like school and mealtimes do get in the way of crafting sometimes! Both my son who is 6 and my daughter who has just turned 4 had fun making their own zombies with only a little bit of help with the cutting. Of course I had to make one myself because there is no one in this house that’s rocking the mombie look better than I am (when are the kids meant to start sleeping through?!) so mine has the obligatory mum Breton top on and brown hair. Not sure if the kids got the hint though?!  This is a really easy Halloween craft that’s fun to make and requires only the basics including a quick rumble through your recycling bin.

With Halloween around the corner these are the most fun ghost crafts for kids I’ve seen this year and I’m sure your children will love them too!

Witch Crafts for Kids

Updated on by | 5 Comments

With Halloween on the horizon I thought now would be a great time to share some witch craft for kids. As everyone knows Halloween is the time for all things spooky and scary but as anyone with young kids knows it’s also good if things don’t get too scary – no one wants to be up in the night dealing with nightmares! With that in mind I’m sharing my favourite witch crafts for kids that really are kid friendly – fun for kids to make and fun for them to look at too. I hope you love them all as much as I do.
