We are making Halloween eye patch today.
Halloween eye patch
We’ll need a long rubber band, a white round circle, a medium blue (or any other color of your choice) and a small black circle.
Paste the blue circle onto the white circle. Then, paste the black circle onto the blue circle.
Use a fine red ink pen and draw lines on the white part of the eye.
Cut the rubber band and staple it onto a circle hard board.
Paste another round hard board to cover the staples. Paste the eye on the other side.
The Halloween Eye Patch is now ready! Boo! 😀

Halloween is just around the corner. Let’s start preparing for ‘Trick or Treat’.
We don’t need to burn a hole in our pocket this festive season. Just DIY what we can. For this Halloween Goodie Bag, all we need is brown paper bag and black sugar paper.
DIY Halloween Trick or Treat Bag
First, draw any creepy Halloween features on the black sugar paper. Let your child cut it out. You may need to assist him/her if they are not ready to handle the scissors yet.
Apply glue to one side of the sugar paper.
Paste onto the brown bag. Decorate as you wish.
The Halloween Goodie bag is ready. You may also use brown bags with handles.
Oh yummy, yummy. It’s been a while since we last ate SPIDERS! Spiders are simply delicious come Halloween don’t you agree?
Ingredients used are Oreo biscuits, chocolate sticks and strawberry chips.
There! Delicious SPIDER for Trick or Treating! Read the step-by-step on how to make this SPIDER treats here.

The Ghost Festival, also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated by Chinese in many countries. According to the Chinese Calendar, the Hungry Ghost Festival falls on the 15th night of the seventh lunar month. It is believed, ghosts and spirits, including those of the deceased ancestors, come out from the lower realm on this day.
Are you afraid of GHOST? Taken from my Horror in Singapore Night Safari post
Keeping up with the ghostly season, we did a Hungry Ghost craft today.
I cut the edges of a paper plate so that it has sharp teeth all over
Cut a construction paper and paste the paper plate teeth on it.
Add eyes and the ghost is ready! I wanted to add splashes of red paint to make the ghost a very gory one but decided against it as I don’t wanna cause nightmares to the kids!

This Halloween, let’s make it a spooky event for the little Trick or Treaters.. ;P

Instead of the ordinary candies, why not spook up your lollipop?

First, you'll need some lollipops.

Next, wrap the lolli with a tissue paper.

Secure it with white thread.

Draw eyes and mouth, your spooky Halloween lollipop is ready! I don't think my boy fancies it though.. 🙂

This Halloween, why not make this freaky Mummy to give your Trick or Treater a scare?

First you'll need a toilet paper roll. Browse through old magazines and cut out the nicest looking pair of eyes there. Paste it onto the toilet paper roll.

Wrap tissue or toilet paper around it.

With the eyes peeping, your Mummy is ready to freak out guests!

Introducing Jack
Alright, so Halloween is a couple of months away. But It’s never too early to start planning right? Instead of using the big and bulky pumpkin year in year out and throwing them away after a party, why not try using a smaller version? An orange. Kids will love them, adults will find them delicious!

Here's a fresh orange

Draw the outline of Jack
