Keeping it Real on Halloween
Kid’s Party or Kitsch Party?
by Tamar Love
Intro | Invites | Activities | Feel It | Contests | Easy Eats | Punch

Spooky Feel-It
Yum…a buffet of brains, guts and eyeballs. What a delight for the fingertips!

What You’ll Need:

10 to 15 large grapes, peeled
½ pound cooked, cold spaghetti
½ pound cooked, cold elbow macaroni
Slices of American cheese, cut into irregular shapes
Large grapefruit, peeled and halved
5 large cardboard boxes, at least 18” on each side
Scissors
Note cards
Colored pens or pencils

Arrange the peeled grapes (eyeballs), cold spaghetti (guts), macaroni (maggots), cheese (skin) and grapefruit (brains) in separate bowls.

Cut a 4”-diameter hole in the side of each box, and place a box over each bowl. Guests should be able to reach in through the holes to feel what lies beneath.

Label each box as appropriate: eyeballs, guts, maggots, skin and brains.

Encourage guests to touch and squeal.
