Halloween Activity

Here’s another great alternative to Halloween candy! I am not sure if witches can be cute but this sure is a cute witch Halloween treat that your kids will enjoy for weeks after October 31st.

I love to give practical gifts. It brings joy to my heart when I hear a friend tell me how they are still using a gift we made them! Makes it all worth it. Well, this won’t last forever but it sure won’t be gone in a matter of seconds like candy will.

What got me started on this craft was this fun pumpkin play dough craft, I used jars to make pumpkins and filled them with delicious smelling pumpkin play dough to go in it. I was on a roll with making play dough so I also made some lime jello play dough in hopes to incorporate it into a fun activity, so we made these.
