I had high hopes for this costume, it looked like exactly what I needed from the picture. When I received it though, it was a bit different. The hat in the photo is cute, with both green and brown fabric, and looks large enough to go with the rest of the costume. In reality the hat is a tiny green beanie with a feather glued sloppily to the side. There is no brown band at all. Also, the collar on the main part is pictured as brown, but the one I received was green (although that's a pretty minor thing). I noticed the costume came with a tag with a photo showing the same one as shown on Amazon. Too bad it really doesn't look like that.
Though Halloween has always been about scary things like ghosts, goblins, and witches, some get more excited about things that are pretty disgusting. Though your children may not want to eat Brussels sprouts or broccoli throughout the year because they are 'gross,' this is one time of the year when they are going to go bonkers for the chance to slice into a brain, or to perhaps gobble down a handful of severed fingers. We may never understand the difference, but we can certainly go with it. Find some fun and gross Halloween recipes to serve on this fun day.
If you can make Jell-O, you can come up with some pretty gross Halloween recipes on your own. You may have to shop online to find them, but there are some very interesting Jell-O molds out there that can help you make brains, fingers, and other interesting body parts. If you would like to serve a heart in a bowl of blood, this is the way to go. You have to come up with the right colors for these gross Halloween recipes, but they should be simple enough to make. Don't forget to use strawberry sauce, or something else that is darker red, to have for the blood. Things are much more disgusting when they come with some blood.
1) 1 box of Jello
2) I jar of strawberry sauce
3) 1 big bowl
Use a jello mold to make an eye ball. Pour the Strawberry Jelly or Strawberry sauce over the eye ball and place in the bowl. Put the bowl in the refrigerator to make it hard.
You can also do some interesting things with spaghetti for gross Halloween recipes. Things like this are screaming out to be made into something truly yucky. You can come up with a thick, dark red sauce and then use it to make what would look like intestines. This may not make things good to eat, but they are going to be interesting. Find some type of item that you can use to present the intestines, and you are going to gross your kids out - just like they have wished you would do.
If you are good with baking, you can make some gross Halloween recipes that involve decorating things with eyeballs and other icky items. You can make cupcakes that look like giant eyeballs, or perhaps you could cut up a cake to decorate as something that is going to repulse and delight your children or your other guests. These ideas for gross Halloween recipes work well at home, but don't forget to share them with others that you love. If you are having a party of any type, be sure you have enough to serve all of your guests. It's a party they are not soon going to forget.
