5.0 out of 5 stars Halloween Lover loves the great ideas in this book!, October 1, 2000

This review is from: 101 Spooktacular Party Ideas (Paperback)

I just purchased this book and am looking forward to using the ideas for my upcoming Halloween party. I am impressed with the variety of ideas...most can easily be done by my children and I look forward to 'creating' the fun treats. The directions are so easy to follow that even a non-crafty person like myself can make the decorations and party favors. The pictures are a great help because I can see what I am making. I look forward to using the ideas in this book for both my children's school party and my own annual Halloween party. Thank you for the great new party ideas! P.S. My children have already made several batches of the SLIME and they play with it like play doe...it is amazing how 2 liquids are mixed together to make a solid. It is a blast to make!

This book offers some great ideas for a Halloween party. Although many of the games are familiar, they are giving a nice ghoulish twist for the holiday. If you're a Halloween fanatic, there won't be anything new or different offered here, but if you're just starting to enjoy the holiday (or got stuck as party mom), this book is a terrific place to start your planning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Halloween Book for Kid's Halloween Party!, November 6, 2002

This review is from: 101 Spooktacular Party Ideas (Paperback)

This year I purchased a number of books on Halloween in order to get more ideas for my annual Halloween party for children ages 2 to 8. This book is a gem, best of the batch. I was able to use at least 10 ideas from this book, including "Stick the Nose on the Pumpkin", "Bopping for Apples", "Halloween Hunt" "Witches Brew" punch, etc. These ideas are easy to use, and not time consuming, unlike the ones I found in other books... where the prime requirement seems to be having a lot of spare time to carry out their ideas. I will use this book over and over again in years to come!
