  • My friend put cake in hers but she made it into a game at the end. She put a big blue sheet over the door and the children got to decorate paper fishes to stick on. They each got a stick with a long piece of string and a peg attached to go "fishing" with. They threw the string over the door and someone the other side would attach the bag with the cake in. They would tug it and then the child could pull it back over the door.

    Or you could do a treasure hunt with chocolate coins.

    That's what I tried to describe on the previous page :D Cool to see it still being done, I used to love it as a child (If I could turn it in to a Halloween theme I might have done it myself this year)

    We're having a princess and pirate theme for our twins this year. I love the windmill idea, but does anyone know where to get the windmills from? The only place we could get stuff like that was woolies, and now they've closed I wouldn't know where to look, can't even find them on line!

    Sod's law after looking for ages, as soon as I ask I find them on Baker Ross! Lol!
