We do crafts for a week or two before Hallowe'en and our downtown library always has a scavenger hunt on 3 floors with music and everyone in costumes. I will have been taking my group there Hallowe'en morning for the 5th year this year and looooove it! We make a bag and practice trick or treating from the librarians for little toys and stickers and it helps the children understand better when their parents take them out that evening.

I always make monster faces for lunch, eg: mashed potato eyeballs with an olive in the middle, pepper strips for ears, broccoli hair, ham sliced into scary teeth, cherry tomato nose.
