Scavenger Hunt Party: Think following bread crumbs and pebbles sounds like fun? Why not try following a trail of clues around a party site to find the ”home” prize. Answer riddles to get a to a birthday cake, or solve puzzles on your way to goody bags or a pinata. Just don’t fall for any witch’s tricks on the way!Sweet-Tooth Party: Take a hint from the witch and explore the fun, creative world of baking and candymaking. Decorate cookies, cupcakes, and even a gingerbread house with sweets galore. Make molded chocolates, hand-dipped lollipops and whatever else your sweet tooth imagines.
Forest Explorer Party: What does it take to navigate through a a forest like Hansel and Gretel? Pass out compasses, magnifying glasses, canteens and trail mix before taking a hike through a real forest. Or even make the puppet show a kick-off to an overnight camping trip (in tents not candy houses!).
