With all the Halloween hoopla starting up, DS1 has started asking to go to a Halloween party - at least a few times a day. DH and I are thinking that, since we don't have any kids' Halloween parties to go to, it might be fun to have a little party for DS's playgroup friends.

It would be a small party, about 5-10 kids, and we're thinking of a Saturday morning, from 10-noon. They can wear their costumes, play games, etc.

But... what games? Would they even cooperate or *want* to play organized games? They're all between 2.5 and 3 years old. I'm envisioning them all in their Halloween costumes playing at the train table while the organized activities are abandoned, lol.

In a Barney Halloween DVD that we rented recently, they made ghost pictures using each child's footprints, and DS was fascinated, but I dread the mess already.

Any suggestions on activities/games/snacks?
TIA!
