i have once again been searching for
fun. easy, cute ideas for classroom parties.
our party has to be winter themed so that really narrows
down what we can do.
these are the treats i made last year
i just stacked 2 doughnut holes and made a cupcake topper to
be the snowman head.
my daughter liked helping decorate and attaching the hats.
this year i have found some cute ideas on pinterest
to see all my pins go here.
{there are some christmas ideas too}
i really like these food ideas:
i plan on making a large bowl with
mini marshmallows {snow balls}, pretzel sticks {arms},
chocolate chips {eyes/mouth/buttons},
and orange sprinkles {nose}
i made these for the halloween party and they were a huge hit!
just cut the seeds out with a mini cookie cutter.
i need to find a winter shape now!
but since our school parties are peanut free
i thought it would be cute to use a frosted cereal like
frosted mini wheats since they look like they are covered in snow!
i'll share some activities next time!
so here is what i'm planning for
classroom parties this year.
no food pictures yet, but there's some
fun ideas that were inspired by pinterest.
you can see all my pins here.
{spooky water}
make water bottles a little more fun by wrapping them with scrapbook paper.
1) take one wrapper off and make your strips the same size.
2) i took off all the wrappers because the new labels stick to the old
glue, but you do not have to do this.
3) wrap and secure with a piece of clear tape.
{mummy juice boxes}
the full tutorial on how to make these is here.
as i wrapped these, i used less tape and they still looked great.
in the tutorial, it shows the top being taped,
i did this until the end when i started to run low on tape.
for the last few i didn't and i think they looked fine without it,
so next time i would skip that step.
it took me 2 rolls of white electrical tape to do 23 boxes.
{games}
i made this monster bingo game using
the create your own monster clipart
from cloudstreet.
(contact me if you are interested in purchasing
the printable version of this game-
8 unique boards and calling cards for $5)
we are also playing pumpkin bowling
(picture from pinterest)
go here for the original directions
i purchased a "funkin" to use since the party is indoors.
{favor bags}
honesty, i can't stand favor bags.
but i know the kids like them so i got just a few items.
i added a little fun by making the toppers and also stuffing
the bags with that cheap spider web.
making the topper is so easy.
i bought favor bags that were 4 inches wide,
so i cut my scrapbook paper to be 4 inch x 4 inch and
folded them in half.
i folded the bag down to fit close to the prizes
then stapled the topper over the fold.
i loved how this one said
"trick or treat...smell my feet..."
and i'm sure the kids will get a kick out of it!

oh and check out the invites we made for
our annual trick or treat party!
i saw the cute witch broom treat bags martha stewart made
and i decided i could use them as invites instead!
i followed her directions (i just stuffed with tissue not candy)
and slipped the invitation strip through the slits.
i think they are so cute!
i get so many great ideas for holiday decorating
from blogs and pinterest,
but wish i could find more
unique ideas for classroom parties.
i hope to find some more good ones to use in a few weeks,
but i thought i'd share what i did last year.
for my daughter's class party we decided one of
the activities would be a craft/snack.
the kids made these cute spiders.
i had seen the idea on a blog but for the original,
a lot of melted chocolate was used.
that wouldn't work for a classroom project,
so here is how i tweaked it.
you need:
brownie bites
pretzel sticks
mini marshmallows
nerds
you use the marshmallows as "joints" to join
2 pretzels together making a leg
repeat for the rest of the legs.
{we only had 4 legs}
{we only had 4 legs}
tear a marshmallow in half.
{the sticky part attaches to the brownie}
and
stick 2 nerds into the marshmallows.
fun right?
fun snacks
i wanted to use cupcake toppers that
i had made, but didn't want to bring cupcakes.
so i stuck them into cubes of cheese.
all the kids wanted the toppers so they picked the cheese
even though there were tons of other sweats!
{they still ate the other sweats...but they ate cheese too!}
aren't these witch hats cute??
just take a hershey kiss
dip in melted chocolate {or melt the bottom of the kiss}
stick to the flip side of a chocolate striped cookie.
the example i saw had a piped bow, but i don't pipe...
so i used 2 pumpkin sprinkles & 2 orange jimmies!
{healthy candy corn}
white ~ bananas
yellow ~ yellow peppers
orange ~ carrots
now lets hope that this guy has a better halloween this year!
