* Halloween Supplies and Decorations
Making Halloween decorations with the kids is always great fun but sometimes if you are short on time and inspiration, a little helping hand can be very useful. After a lot of research I have come up with the spookiest and best value Halloween party suppliers around.
Party Box Inflatable giant spiders, bats and ghost, glow in the dark cobwebs, giant cardboard Dracula's and witches, table decorations, hanging skulls, doorknob slime. You name it, they've got it.

Here are some suggestions: Bloody Intestines with Gallstones: Spaghetti & Meatballs Cooked Phantom Brains: - Cooked Cauliflower Cats Tongues: - Long, thin slices of Cheese Tomb stones: - Yogurt covered muesli bars iced with R.I.P. Poison Punch : - Green coloured fruit punch floating with lava ice (see recipe below) Lava Ice: - Gummy worms frozen in ice cubes Boggie Slime: - Green jelly Maggot Mound: - Round chocolate cake covered in chocolate icing with rubber maggots or gummy worms half inserted into the cake. Sand-Ghosts: - Sandwiches cut in the shape of ghosts using a cookie cutter, with raisins as eyes Strained Eyeballs: - Hard boiled eggs cut in half length ways and stuffed with cream cheese with slices of stuffed olives for the eye centre. Severed fingers and toes: - Ladies Finger biscuits decorated with green icing along their length with a blob of red icing at one end. Decorate the Halloween table with a black cloth and place lots of plastic/paper creepy crawlies amongst the food. As a centrepiece, place a large Jack-o-Lantern in the middle with a night light candle inside. Put plastic insects in each cup and give everyone green or black cups, plates and straws.

OK the idea here is to make the Halloween food sound as ghoulish and ghastly as possible but obviously you want the kids to eat the food so make sure that it tastes good in spite of its name! By each plate of food make a little card (in the shape of a tombstone and decorated with spooky stickers) with the name of the food.
