Halloween Crafts

We had a free day on Friday since I combined the library lesson with another one. So, we did Halloween crafts.

First, Hailey helped me make cupcakes since I needed to bring a dozen to the ward trunk-or-treat party tonight.
Then we painted our jack-o-lantern faces on our small pie pumpkins. I like painting better then craving and probably won't have them crave until their 8 unless they ask for it.
Here's my pumpkin.
Hailey started making a face and then painted all over it.
*Side note: Once again I'm using the Styrofoam egg carton to hold the paint. However, only four of the twelve sections are without holes.

Then we tried to make the witch craft that Joy School provided but it wasn't easy to work with. I ended up doing all the gluing. There's supposed to be shoulders and she's supposed to be able to stand up on her own but the instructions didn't make sense to me.
Then Hailey and I did a Corduroy Halloween sticker book together while the cupcakes cooled.
Then Hailey got to decorate 6 cupcakes all by herself.
Surprisingly she didn't put a huge amount of frosting like I thought she would.
Then we added sprinkles. She only wanted to put on perfect, whole sprinkles so she ate the broken ones.

We had a lot of Halloween fun together. I'm glad that we did it.
