These Halloween fruit cups make an adorable pumpkin patch, and are perfect for bringing a healthy prepackaged snack to school that's as cute as homemade treats.

A lot of schools require pre-packaged snacks and treats for holidays and birthdays these days. The reasons range from allergies to concerns about food safety. Fortunately, there are lots of ways to turn pre-packaged food into cute treats your child can help make.

These cute Halloween fruit cups seriously took us about 15 minutes to make for Corban's entire preschool class (18 students). It could have even gone faster if I had done them myself, but it was so much fun to watch him concentrate as he turned pipe cleaners into pumpkin stems and taped them on.

To make your own Halloween fruit cups, you just need some mandarin orange cups (we got this 20 pack from Costco for about $9), green pipe cleaners, and tape.

You can use hot glue to attach the stems for a cleaner look, but I wanted them to be really easy for pre-schoolers to pull off to eat their oranges.

Another reason for using tape was that I wanted Corban to be able to help me make them, and wasn't about to put a hot glue gun in his hands. He's had a cookie sheet burn, broken arm, and stitches in the last year or so. I just know hot glue would end up in another urgent care trip, and I'm tired of how it seems like we live there. Nothing like being a boy mom!

To make the pumpkin stems, start by folding one end of the pipe cleaner around itself. Keep folding until you have a nice fat little stem about 3/4 of an inch tall. You'll use about half of the pipe cleaner for the stem.

Finally, you'll want to wrap the other half of the pipe cleaner around your finger, pull it off, and stretch it out a bit to make a curly-q vine.

Once your stems are made, you can secure them to the bottom of your upside down cups with a little piece of tape.

Corban worked very hard at this step in making his Halloween fruit cups.

We call this the Mills concentration tongue (my maiden name). Both our kids are experts at it!

Also, notice that I am one of those moms who forgets to wipe her childrens' faces before taking photos or leaving the house?

I thought about photo-shopping the blueberry smears off of his face, but we like to keep it real here.

If you make these Halloween fruit cups for your kiddos, we'd love to see your photos! Be sure to share them on Instagram and tag us @EatingRichly so that we can check them out!

The end of summer doesn't mean we have to give up on the sun altogether. These bold and colorful fall leaf suncatchers are just the thing to use the sunlight to welcome autumn with the kiddos.

Things You'll Need

To get started, gather your tissue paper and use your hands to tear each sheet into small pieces (little kids love this step and it's great for fine-motor development). If you're using a self-sealing laminating pouch, place the torn pieces of tissue paper directly onto the inside of one side of the pouch. Then press the two sides together to seal.

If you're using traditional, thermal-laminating pouches and a machine, dip your sponge brush into some water and "paint" the inside of one side of the laminating pouch. Place the torn pieces of tissue paper onto the sheet and blot it with the brush again if the pieces are sliding around. Close the pouch and run it through the laminator, sealed end first.

Now it's time to draw some leaves. Kids can freehand their designs or you can help them out a little by providing a template to trace. (A quick web search for "leaves outline" should provide plenty of options.)

If the kids want to practice a bit before committing to their final leaf designs, have them use a dry-erase marker, which they can easily wipe away. Once they have a leaf, or leaves, that they're happy with, they can trace them with a permanent marker.

Next, get out the scissors and practice those cutting skills.

The last step is to adhere a couple of pieces of double-sided tape to the leaves and mount them to the window. The sun shining through the tissue paper will create a lovely stained-glass effect.

Tissue paper in fall colors (red, orange and yellow)

Self-laminating pouches (or a home laminator and thermal-laminating pouches)

Permanent marker

Double-sided tape

Small sponge brush (optional)

Dry-erase marker (optional)

I'm the room parent for Bea's 1st grade class this year, so I had to come up with a simple, fun, Fall party game that the kids could do in, like, 7 minutes. (They only allow 30 minutes for the class parties, and most of that time is spent scarfing down cupcakes and juice boxes.)
I'd seen versions of this game on Pinterest, but they all involved popping balloons. And we all know how loud and annoying balloon-popping can be. Especially in a room filled with excited kids, hopped-up on sugar and the excitement of Halloween. So I opted for a quieter version. I put prizes inside orange cups with napkins rubber-banded over the tops. Then I hot glued the cups to a piece of black foam core. The kids simply had to poke their finger through the orange napkin on the cups and pull out either a TRICK or a TREAT. Some of the tricks included: toothpaste, socks, and fake ketchup & mustard bottles. Some of the treats included: candy, inflatable Halloween decorations, and Slinky toys.
The kids had a great time, everyone got a prize, and there was plenty of time leftover for a good sugar rush.

Schools across the Nation are gearing up for their Fall Festivals and the folks in charge are having a hard time coming up with some budget friendly Fall Festival game ideas! In fact, my sister-in-law was just complaining about not being able to find any. So, using her creativity and doing my own online searches, I was able to come up with this list of over 12 Fall Festival game ideas plus a few Fall Festival Prize Ideas!!

Fall Festival Game Ideas:

1. Photo Booth - With selfies, mustaches, and "the duck face" being all the rage, photo booths are popping up at many parties now! Create your own photo booth with a fall themed tablecloth as the background and fill a box with props like boas, hats, mustaches, funny glasses, and more.

2. Ring Toss - Using old glass bottles, you can create your own DIY Ring Toss Game - Or, if you don't really want glass bottles you can create a ring toss game using dowels

3. School Idol - Set up a Karaoke stage and charge tickets for the kids to sing. You could have an Idol of the Day or an Idol per grade.

4. Ladder Golf - Not sure why this game is called "golf" but oh man it looks fun and challenging!

5. Fishing is always a popular festival game. The easiest way to play is to set up a plastic kiddie pool and get some sticks or dowels. Put a piece of string on the pole and a magnet at the end of the strong. Fill the pool with cardboard fishes that have paper clips on them. Blind-fold the kids and let them fish! Different colored fish could be for different prizes.

6. Spray Away - Martha Stewart suggests putting ping-pong balls onto golf tees and allowing the use of water guns to spray the balls down! You know that sounds like loads of fun!

7. Mini Golf - a couple boards, golf balls, and clubs and you have your own handmade mini golf course.

8. Xbox or Wii games - You can set up your gaming system with a projector and screen and allow danging, sports, etc playoffs! We did this for my 13 year old's birthday party and it was a big hit! Set your timer and let the kids take turns!

9. Obstacle Course - You can create your own with scraps from the garage or purchase this super awesome blow up one (Inflatable Obstacle Pro-Racer Bounce House Bouncer ). Some of the "jumpy" places even allow you to rent these. If it is being used for a school or Church, your local place might even offer a discount or donate it!

10. Scavenger Hunt - Create your own scavenger hunt and allow the kids to look for things as they spend time at the Festival. When they finish it they can turn it in for a small prize - this is the perfect time to give them some extra tickets. No time (or creativeness) to create your own?

11. Lawn Twister - a couple different colors of spray paint and you have one massive Twister Game!

12. Olympics - Three Legged Races, Egg Toss, Sack races, Wheelbarrow races, horseshoes, and other backyard games! Allow the kids to compete for prizes! The added benefit is that it wears them out. LOL!

13. Duck Pond - You can never go wrong with a duck pond. Simply paint different colors on the bottom of some rubber duckies. Float the ducks in a small pool and allow the kids to choose a duck - the idea is to put lots of the color that equals a small prize, fewer of the next size prize and only 1 or 2 of the biggest prizes.

Fall Festival Prize Ideas:

1. More tickets! Set aside a certain number of tickets - maybe a different color - and allow the kids to win a couple tickets at the booths. Be sure to keep count so your money doesn't get messed up.

2. Create some Turkey Poo packets!

3. There are TONS of really neat goodies available at Oriental Trading Company that kids will love and since you can purchase by the gross the prices are very cheap!

4. Go to local stores and ask for some donations. These donations can be used as prizes at the booths, as part of an auction, and/or for the Cake Walk that every good festival should have!

I hope these help you have the rocking-est fall festival ever! Looking for other Fall Festival ideas? Leave a comment letting me know what you are looking for and I will see what I can do 🙂
