Welcome to washcloth crafts!
Halloween is just around the corner! Kids are choosing their costumes and moms are trying to come up with special ideas for Halloween night or some way to make a party special.
Relatives and friends would always come to our house to eat chili (macaroni & cheese for the kids) and cornbread muffins shaped like ghost (yes, you can buy mini ghost pans). Gram and Gramps or some other willing adult would man the front door, dispensing candy. After supper, our large group would mob the neighborhood, kids running from house to house, while the moms and dads, some in costumes, trailed along behind, keeping an eye on the tikes.
People are getting creative in our neighborhood these days. One of our neighbors has organized something new. Kids can now trick or treat at the neighborhood park. Neighbors will park their cars and let the kids collect their goodies from the trunks of the cars! Kids can fill their bags and play on the playground, while the adults can meet and greet their neighbors. This should prove to be a great way to foster community relations in the upcoming years.
Halloween parties are always a fun way to kick off the holiday season. Many of the TerryGami washcloth projects can be party favors or the party activity. Fill up the firecracker with a small tube of tooth paste and a small toothbrush, along with a little candy. Kids can use the firecracker afterwords to stash their favorite candy.
The holidays are the time for making fun memories. Start planning now!
Happy Crafting!
Terry
