Our Toddler Halloween Party

I feel a little silly posting about our toddler Halloween party because there is not a single original idea here. Just about every aspect of our little gathering was taken from Pinterest, and I encourage you to check out the board and all the original posts that inspired me.

Ellie and I got all gussied up for the event!

We had lots of easy to make goodies.

We served orange cups with little jack-o-lanterns drawn on the cover, chocolate covered pretzels that we decorated to look like witch fingers (the nail is a slivered almond), mummy gingerbread men, pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, banana ghosts (which you can barely see in the corner of the muffin picture, and witch brooms (mini pretzel rods and cheese sticks tied with chives).

I love this goblet I found at Walmart.

We set up a haunted house with lights and bats inside, made out of a gigantic card board box I'd been saving since May.

 The kids had a good time going in and out of it with Ellie's shopping cart.

They also decorated Halloween masks I found at Michaels and played with a big bowl of colored spaghetti that I forgot to take a picture of.

Ellie and her buddy Eli, were sad that Kirby had to go outside for the party, but he's a big dog, and a bit scary to the kids who do not have a dog at home.


In attendance we had Cinderella, a construction worker, a lion, a lady bug, a dragon, a transformer, three wizards, and my little pilot.

The kids took home bags of cheddar popcorn.

It was a great afternoon. Its always chaotic and loud when ten toddlers are running around the house, but I feel so blessed. Even though our family is far away, I love having my little ex-pat family of moms and kids to celebrate these fun holidays with.

Once everyone went home and all was quiet, I colored some masks myself.

I love my life.
