PoiSoned ApPLes: Activity Days


So here's another not so quick but easy idea for Activity days.
I wanted to do something festive and a little creepy for Halloween for my girls this month.  I found these way cute (and a little bit creepy) beaded spiders.  At first I wasn't sure if they were going to be too complicated, but the girls had fun making them even though they were a little time consuming.  I enjoyed the craft time very much, it was a nice {QuiEt} activity.  They had to concentrate a little to get those little beads on there! 
And to add a treat to the tricks (there must ALWAYS be a treat) we did caramel apples.  Cause really, who isn't down with a little caramel apple this time of year. 

Have you used the Kraft Caramel Bits yet?  I recommend.  They melt quick and you don't have to mess with those stinkin' wrappers!


We carameled and sprinkled our apples...


Made our spooky spiders...

Ended up with a tricky treat...PoiSoned ApPLes.

    My son wants to be a shark for Halloween. Did you make these costumes or buy them? I am not a seamstress at all, but my 4 year old seems to think I could just sew him one! I'd love to know where you bought them (if you did purchase them). Could you email me at marythurman@hotmail.com? Thanks! p.s. Love the daddy attacked by the sharks-nice touch!
