4) MAKE THE SCENE FESTIVE FOR LITTLE GOBLINS
Decorating for this affair can be as easy as pulling out all your Halloween decor. For extra credit, make a pumpkin-head scarecrow to greet guests as they arrive or set jack-o'-lanterns aglow for an evening party. Let the kids become pumpkin art themselves with the help of a pumpkin face-paint stamp. You can buy these at craft stores or make your own by cutting a small pumpkin out of craft foam, then gluing it to a piece of cardboard. Cover with orange face paint, dab off any excess, and decorate the carvers.
