We're going trick or treating Wednesday night, the kids think halloween is about dressing up and visiting other people's houses to get lollies. I'll have to do some reseach about halloween, its history and traditions, just in case this fascination continues. I don't really love it- but they do.
I've contacted some mum and dad friends that live walking distance from our house and asked if we can call in. To thank the children we're going to visit, I thought we could make some spider favours. We used the pom pom making method from this post http://beckypiesky.blogspot.co.nz/2012/07/easy-peasy-pom-poms.html but used 4 pipe cleaners through the middle to make the legs- spooooky eh : )
cool stuff - a great idea to call first - we hide.....too scary to answer the door....
ReplyDeleteI've LOVED Halloween since I was a child and loved trick or treating along my street. Being able to celebrate it in America would be all the better, they've really owned it!
ReplyDeleteI believe the Irish bought the tradition to America - it's a really fascinating celebration that pre-dates Christianity, though the traditions behind it has certainly evolved over time.
Okay, I should stop with my Halloween ramble now - love those spiders :D
