{ Kids Halloween Party, The Games! }

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group and Cottonelle, but all opinions are my own. http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO.

Trick-or-treat comes and goes so quickly, it seems like the little ones don't actually get to enjoy it much! This year I had the idea of hosting a kids costume party for my little ones, friends and family to enjoy! With that in mind I headed to none other than, Target to get some goodies! While I was there I picked up the new Cottonelle Triple Roll toilet paper to use for decor and for games. Be sure to grab yours too, and take advantage of the promotional offer "Buy Cottonelle Triple Rock 12 pack or larger and receive a FREE box of Kleenex", while supplies last! Coupon here!



And that brings me today's post, the games! Of course, this is the best part of the party for the kids!! We had a variety of ages, from 1-12, so I wanted the games to be functional and fun for everyone! The games were played inside the house since it's like Winter outside (ah!), luckily I planned for that!

First we played pumpkin bowling! I stacked six rolls of the Cottonelle Triple Roll up pyramid style. I glued cute little googly eyes on them so they appeared as "ghosts"! We noticed unlike the picture below, separating the rolls so there is more of a gap in between them is easier for the kids to knock down. I used a mini pumpkin and removed the stem.



Next we played Halloween bingo and did the pinata! Oh, how fun that was!

Next up was the Mummy wrap! It was so much fun to watch the little ones work together in creating their own Mummy in 60 seconds! For this game we used two rolls per team. This was by far their favorite game of the night! After each team finished their Mummy, we saw who could get out of it the quickest! Then it seems we had a slight toilet paper fight, so fun! I will share all the printables I created for each game in another post next week, so check back!





The last game we played was pin the tail on the black cat! I used a black poster board, drew and cut out the shape of the cat. I glued on googly eyes and used different lengths of fish line for the whiskers! I wrapped the cat up like a Mummy too, and it was just adorable!



I also used a few pieces of toilet paper to embellish the sides of my picture frames to "Mummy-fy" them a bit! Who knew with a little bit of creativity and a pack of toilet paper, you could create fun for an entire party?


I will be sharing the full party and details next week! I hope to see ya back then ;)
