Halloween Goo!

Just For Fun

Your Children will enjoy the way this rubbery Goo slowly slips through their fingers!

What You'll Need:
-1 1/2 cups Water
-5 drops green Food Coloring
-2 cups glue (4 - 4 oz. bottles) (Elmer's glue works best)
-2 teaspoons Borax (Found in the laundry detergent isle)
-1 cup hot Water

The how to:
-Mix 1 1/2 cups water, food coloring and glue in a large bowl until well blended. (this may take a few minutes)

-In a separate bowl mix 1 cup HOT water and 2 tsp. Borax. Mix until dissolved.

-Add Borax mixture to glue mixture and stir. This mixture will start to coagulate quickly and will be hard to stir. Mix as best you can. (at this point I use my hands to mix it) When well mixed, pour out any excess water and let Goo stand for about 10 minutes. Now it's ready!!!

-Goo can be stored in air tight containers and will keep approximately 2-4 weeks.

Skeleton scavenger hunt-relay race.

For the Family

Here is a game that is fun for the whole family and not too spooky for the little ones.

What you'll need:

- A skeleton for each team ( we had 2 teams of 2). I did a search for skeletons on the internet and printed off one that I liked.

-Tape or other adhesive material to hang it on the wall.

-And a space on the wall for each team to hang their's up.

The How to:

-I cut the skeleton(s) out ahead of time. And I cut it apart (meaning I cut the head off, the hands off, the feet off, the legs, etc until all the parts of it are seperated.

- Then I hid the pieces to one of the skeletons in the kitchen and the pieces of the other one in the dining room.

-When it was time to play, I had one player from each team run to their designated room to find a piece that went to their skeleton. When they found one they would come back to their team and hang the piece they found on the wall.

-Then the next team member would run and do the same thing.

-The team that gets their skeleton put together first wins.

Mummy Wrap Game

For the Family

Get the family together for a fun game of wrapping the mummy.

-We had 2 teams of 2 and the goal was to see who could wrap their 'mummy' first. We used crepe paper. Toilet paper would also work, but tears easier than the crepe paper.

-You could make it a little more challenging by blind folding the person who is doing the wrapping.

-But the main thing is to HAVE FUN together!
