2) Mummy Candy Bucket: Get your kids excited to gather candy in these cute and creative buckets! You’ll Need: White Felt, Green Felt*, Green Beach Pail*, Large Wiggle Eyes, Glue, Scissors What to do: Cut 3″ strips of white felt. Wrap the felt around the pail and glue them into place. Leave a small opening on the front of the pail for the mummy’s eyes and nose to poke out. Cut a small circle out of green felt, and glue it onto the mummy’s face. Finally, glue wiggle eyes.*Green is suggested, but I think that any color will do, just try to match the felt for the nose with the color of the pail |

3) Halloween Themed Luminaries: Have some empty milk jugs sitting in your recycle bin? Here’s a great way to light the way for your trick or treaters: You’ll need: Clean milk jugs, Permanent Markers, Washable Markers, Craft Knife, White Holiday Lights What to do: While the kids are snacking on some edible eyeballs, use the craft knife to cut holes in the bottom of the Milk Jugs to fit the lights into.
