31 Days Series: Day 10

 Monster Hands

This is snack you may remember making when you were a kid.  I remember making it back in elementary school.  This is an easy idea for kids to make and enjoy after school or to have or make at Halloween parties.

Supplies:

-clear plastic gloves aka "lunch lady gloves"

-popcorn

-candy corn (5 per hand)

-twist tie

Directions:

1. Put a piece of candy corn (with the point in first) in each finger of the glove.

2.  Fill the glove up with popcorn, but not too full so you can close it up.

3.  Put a twist tie on so the popcorn won't fall out.

Not sure if you can see but the hands have a Halloween ring on the ring finger.  They are cheap...you can get a whole bag of them at the dollar store.  Great little addition if you will be having these at a party.

I found these "gloves" left over from my teaching days so we used them but the clear gloves will work just fine!! You will actually be able to see the candy corn "fingernails" better with clear gloves.

31 Days Series: Day 7

 Mummy Dogs

This is a great idea to put a little Halloween twist on a kid-favorite for lunch or dinner.  And there isn't much to buy to make this!  Serve with a side of your child's favorite dipping sauce.  

Supplies:

-hotdogs, turkey dogs, veggie dogs...whatever kind you prefer

-a package of refrigerated crescent rolls or breadsticks

Directions:

1.  Stretch the rolls/breadsticks to about 12 inches long.

2.  Wrap the dough around the hotdog and make sure let some of the hotdog "peek" through.

3.  Bake at 375 degrees for 10-13 minutes-until the dough is golden brown.

4.  You can make little "eyes" if you want to.  I poked two little holes into the "mummy wrap" with a toothpick for the eyes.

5.  Enjoy!
