Easy Allergy Friendly Halloween Snacks

Let’s move onto snacks!  Of course you need some fun food ideas for your Halloween party.

Finally, be extra prepared at your party by having something for “fast finishers”.  You know, those kids who do everything in 30 seconds and are always looking for what’s next.  I like to have a few extra activities on hand to keep those kids busy.

Here is a free printable for Halloween color by number pages.  Great for an extra party activity or just for fun at home.

I used an empty water bottle, bird seed, and miscellaneous items like these fun crazy eyes to make these look and find bottles.

A book corner will round out your party so that everyone always has something to do.  Or you can end the party by calming students down with a Halloween story.
