Chocolate
Jack-o-Lanterns
Depending on how many people you are making Chocolate
Jackolanterns for, all you need is six to
ten oranges and chocolate ice cream (ice cream can be
substituted with other favorite ice creams)
a knife or pumpkin carving kit and a spoon.
1. Cut top off oranges as you would a top of a pumpkin.
2. With spoon clean out inside of orange the best you can.
3. Carve out your favorite funny or scary jackolantern face.
4. Fill your orange/jackolantern with chocolate ice cream.
5. Put your "Chocolate Jack-o-Lanterns" in the freezer
until you are about to eat them.
Cookie Painting & Lollie Ghosts
We have done a carnival for as long as I have been a teacher.
The two favorite booths the
children love are the cookie painting and the Lollie-ghosts. As
an elementary teacher that works
in a school with 4 year olds up to 12 year olds the activities
must be flexible.
Cookie painting involves plain sugar cookies, frosting of
seasonal color or just plain white, raisin, marshmallows, nuts,
licorice strings, coconut, pretzel sticks, chocolate chips
sprinkles, and anything that could be used to create a face on
the frosted cookie. To assist with the cleanup have all
ingredients in a sandwich bag and place the frosting in a tiny
cup with a Popsicle stick or on a spoon. This way when the
student is done creating their cookie they place
it in their bag to save for later, Yah Right!
The Lollie-Ghost is perfect for little ones, but the big ones
always stop by! You take a lollie pop and cover it with a piece
of tissue paper and tie it at the base of the candy with a piece
of
black or white yarn. The students can paint their ghosts eyes
and face with a marker, tempera paint, tube paint or even
glitter. (Ear cleaners work great and there will be little or no
extra
mess.) The student then takes home their own Lollie-ghost !
Black Cats
Mix 2 cups sugar, 4tbsp. cocoa, half cup milk, 1 stick margarine
in saucepan and bring to boil.
Cook about a minute. Add half cup peanut butter and 1 tsp.
vanilla extract. Pour in 2 and a half cups quick oats and stir.
While stilll warm, roll spoonful sized balls in pan ("litterbox")
of grape nuts or crushed nuts.
Buy litter scoop and lay beside pan so people can serve
themselves.
Next, get a cake mix (devil's food or chocolate) and prepare as
directed. Pour 5/6 into round greased pan and the rest into 2
medium muffin tins. Bake. Remove from pan and cut cicle in half.
Line side to side and ice black. Stick muffin sized 2 in front
on a long end for paws and ice. With white icing, outline back
legs and tail. Stick cat face cutout above paws.
Lay the cat on a pan beside the litter treats and there you have
it.
The Frozen Hand
Freeze punch in rubber gloves that have been washed out. Thaw by
running warm water over gloves and add to punch bowl. Keeps
punch cold while adding and eeriness to the party.
Pumpkin Seeds
Dig out pumpkins seeds. Clean the seeds and soak in two hours in
lightly salted water (1 tablespoon per 2 cups of water). Pat the
seeds dry and spread them on a lightly oiled cookie
baking sheet. Bake in an oven at 200 degrees for 1/2 to 1 hour,
or until they look crispy and a light brown. Salt to taste. Let
the seeds cool down.
