Decorating for Halloween is sooo fun and creative these days. If you are having a party, or even if you’re not, having a festive centerpiece for your table will help create the mood of your party. If you are looking for a few ideas:

1. Mini-pumpkins, gourds, and corn husks always look festive this time of year. Have the kids decorate the pumpkins or stuff a mini scarecrow to add more of a Halloween feel to the centerpiece.

2. An assortment of different sizes of orange and black candles placed on a reflecting mirror would add a spooky, gothic feel on Halloween. Of course, only light the candles under the supervision of adults. One fun thing would be to eat your Halloween dinner by candlelight. Make sure your conversation revolves around ghostly tales.

3. Purchase a black plastic cauldronicon and add dry ice and a submersible light to make a spooky Witch’s Cauldron.  Or if you have young ones around, a fog machine tucked in around the caldron might be a safer way to go.

4. Using different sizes of jars, fill them full of water and place “body parts” such as hands, eyeballs, hair, fingers, etc. into the different jars. They will look creepy!

5. Have a large punch bowl in the center with a brain ice mold floating in green slime punch. Ghoulish!

6. Fill a pumpkin bowl with lots of bright candies and goodies. Play little games at the table for the kids to reach in and have a candy prize. Or, after dinner, the kids can dip their hands in for dessert. You can use this bowl to hand out candy to your trick or treaters as well!

Say It!
