These Halloween Caramel Apples are a fun and delicious way to get into the Halloween spirit. This activity may not be the healthiest one, but it sure makes kids happy!!

When I was little, every year, our neighborhood would celebrate Halloween together. My friends who lived up the road had a haunted house set up in their barn, another neighbor would paint our faces and help with costumes, and my mom always hosted Halloween games. After the games were over, my mom would hand us all a caramel apple to eat on our way to the haunted house up the road. Now, as an adult, caramel apples alway bring back such fun memories for me, and I want to give similar ones to my kids. Read on to learn how to make yours!

Creating Autumn Stained Glass with your kids is a really sweet and easy way to preserve a piece of fall and make a beautiful piece of art for your home.

The trees around town are really starting to look like autumn! I bet your trees are too! The leaves here are so rich and colorful right now. On a walk recently, my daughter and I gathered several lovely ones and then wondered what we could do with them when we got them home. We both wanted to preserve them somehow and hang them up in our home to admire. My mom, who is visiting us from Montana, suggested preserving them in wax paper, the way they used to do when she was a little girl. The idea of creating Autumn Stained Glass came out of that. Read on to learn what you will need for this project and exactly how to do it.

These Pinecone Monsters are so silly! Making funny monsters is a great craft for kids, and just in time for Halloween!

This silly Pinecone Monsters craft idea came to me as my kids and I were collecting pinecones last week for a different project. My daughter held up a particularly funny looking pinecone and started jabbering away in the silliest sounding monster voice. Then, as soon as we got them home, I came upon a googly eye in the art drawer, and I had my aha moment! Clearly, I these pinecones had to become silly googly-eyed monsters!
