Halloween Party Recipes (Easy)

[sap1227]

I am having the Halloween party for our playgroup at my house on Thursday and I am trying to plan a cute meal. I have found a ton of ideas online, but I was wondering if anyone here has any tried and true recipes. There will be 9 toddlers at the party, so it is nothing fancy.

Thanks for any help!

I've hosted a ton of toddler parties over the years. I think the one thing they enjoy the most at the parties is being able to decorate their own cupcake or cookies. (I make the cookies nice and big, they are a little neater than the cupcakes).
I put down a shower curtain underneath the table, scatter around a lot of plastic bowls with frosting, and decorations in the bowls....enough so their not waiting impatiently for their turn (just put 1/4 cup of frosting in the bowls so theirs a lot of them)...
The kids just love to eat their creations. A balloon for each of them, with a ring toss game of some sort with prizes and stickers.
Have Fun
I sure miss those days

I was at Albertsons last night, getting supplies for the kids parties at their school. In the bakery they had pumpkin shaped, undecorated sugar cookies, and next to it several different brands of easy to use icing to decorate the cookies with. I thought that would be a lot of fun, and then you don't have to do the baking.

We recently had a card making party, and for the kids snack we had chips and queso, which was a big hit in the 18 month to 4 year old group, they all loved it. I used one brick of Velveeta and a can of Ro-Tel tomato.

I would also guess any type of pasta thing would be a big hit with the kids, maybe if you can find Halloween shaped pasta?
