Cardboard Earrings
 The kids will enjoy making these earrings for themselves or as gifts. Be creative with the designs and you'll be sure to
have a true piece artwork! Experiment with different designs. You can make the earrings as
simple or as outrageous as you like. Birds, animals, flowers, shapes- it's up to you! They
make great gifts for moms, teachers or a great addition to your Halloween outfit.

 This dessert is brought to us by Nancy Burton. She always has good
ideas and tries to make meal time a special event for her family. Thanks Nancy for sharing
these desserts with us! If you like chocolate-covered cherries, try this recipe.
Lollipop Plants
Whether you are a teacher, mom, or kid who
loves crafts, this is the perfect Halloween craft for you. It's very simple and you don't
even need dirt. This is great as both a festive decoration and treat holder. You can use
any kind of lollipops- Blow Pops, Tootsie Roll Pops or the traditional non filled pops.
Pumpkin Patch
 Here is one great idea to decorate
your house! Your own personalized pumpkin patch! It's very simple, but tons of fun. You
remember dyeing hard boiled eggs for Easter, why not for Harvest Festival or Halloween?
All you need are hard boiled eggs, some orange food coloring and let your imagination run
wild!!
Halloween Scrapbook
This is a super project to keep materials
and mementos organized and place them in the book as soon after the activiy as possible.
Ziploc bags are one way to keep items safe and organized.

 Halloween
bag will make sure that all that candy comes home in one piece. I got this idea after
years of trying to catch candy coming from the bottom of ripped bags while trick or
treating with the kids. The bags can be reused every year and are sturdy enough for the
most aggressive trick or treater. There are many ways of decorating the bags from creative
stitching to fabric painting. This craft is perfect for all kids whether it is done at
home or in school.
Potpourri Gel Jars
This week's Craft of the Week features a
wonderful gift that children of any age can make. Gel Jars are beautifully decorated,
scented gifts. They are sure to liven up any room with their fragrance. You'll want
to choose scents which your mom likes. You can substitute potpourri oil for the essential
oils in this craft.
 Potato Prints
This is a great way for you to use a
simple potato to make an stamp for almost any holiday.
Paper Mache Glue
Need the glue recipe to make a great Halloween
or fall craft. This is the recipe for Paper Mache. We have received many requests for a
good paper mache recipe and I believe this is the one!!
Apple Votive
This features our Harvest Festival Craft, the Apple
Votive. This wonderfully beautiful symbol of autumn is sure to liven up any dinner
table. They can also be placed in a large pot of water and set out on the porch; the
apples will float- lights dancing in the night.

Printed Potholders
Printing is a wonderful craft for any
age. It works well for groups of children and the individual. Boys and girls love to make
