Halloween Bingo

October 14, 2011Fall, Games, Halloween, PrintablesBingo, FHE, game, halloween, printable, trick or treatRita

Here is a cute little bingo game that you could play for FHE, a school party, or at your own Halloween party!

There are 6 game boards and 2 pages of calling cards. You can use M&M’s or candy corn for markers, or buttons or paper circles. You may want to laminate the playing cards for durability.

To print, just right click and go to copy. Open your favorite program, like word or any other program you like. Right click again and go to paste. These are 8 1/2 x 11 format, but you could resize them to fit 2 on a page in landscape setting.

Happy Haunting!

You can also email these to a lot of your favorite copy stores and they can print them for you. Alphagraphics in my area, will print them for .56 a page, and that is on cardstock, so that is a pretty good price. You could also have them laminated (I am not sure of the price of lamination, but their prices seem to be very reasonable) and you would just have to go pick them up and cut them out and you are ready to go!

Girl’s Night Out

We had a fun girl’s night out last week. My husband was gone, so when the cat’s away the mice will play, and play we did! We hired a baby sitter for all the kids and they had a great time playing downstairs while we were upstairs. We let them come up for the food after we were all done. (Nice, I know!) What a fun group! And most of the time the cousins are all great friends.

We made these pillow and I totally copied the idea from a pinterest blog. I even made the pillows in the back like on their display. She has done a great tutorial on how to make them here so I am not going to do another one. I will tell you what we did different, as you can see, some of them did the “or” in black paint and just used fine glitter which worked ok, but the glitter had to be sprayed with varnish to help keep the glitter from coming off. She suggests that you go to Walmart and buy the painter canvas, which I did, but it is not a very high quality and it frays really bad, even after using pinking shears. So I would suggest that you buy a regular piece of canvas from a fabric store. The next thing we did different was that we found out the glitter paint did not go very far, so we painted the orange with regular spray paint and then added a glitter finish to the top. It worked great that way! But all in all it was fun to see how everyone’s turned out and we had a fun evening together without kids (kind of!) Here’s what mine look like!I don’t know if I can leave them outside or not, I will have to spray scotch gaurd on them if I do so the weather won’t ruin them.!I think they turned out pretty darn cute.

Halloween Bunting!

Here is a fun trick or treat bunting printable just in time to get you ready for Halloween! Excuse my empty fireplace mantle, I took down what was on it, because it did not match and I have not yet put up my Halloween decorations. (I have been given strict orders by one of my granddaughters that I have to wait until she can help me… and she is only 5 years old!) :)

You will need to print the next 6 pages. (just double click on the image and it will show you a larger version, then right click and go to copy, then go to your favorite program and paste and print. The image should fill up a full 81/2 x 11 sheet of paper. Two letters per page.)

Cut out each candy corn and then laminate for durability. Punch a hole in each corner. I punched the first one, then used it as a pattern for all of the others. Lay out and tie together with ribbon. I put streamers on the two ends! Hang up and enjoy!
