Halloween is one of the kids favourite times of year. They are so excited for Halloween this year and to get them in the mood, Baker Ross sent us some of this spooky 'Day of the Dead Colour-in Mini Gift Bags' to review.


Each kit contains 6 mini paper bags, in 3 assorted designs with 3 assorted handle colours - Green, Pink & Orange. Each bag size is 12cm x 8.5cm.


We used the Fibre tip pens that Baker Ross also sent us to colour the bags in.


"These are going to look amazing" Ellie told me. She was all "I'm going to give my friend some sweets in these for Halloween" Bless her.



Harry and Charlie even joined in with colouring the bags in. Charlie was like "Now these are EPIC!" Charlie being eleven years old and Harry being thirteen, it was lovely to have them join in on being creative! They're SO excited for Halloween.
The bags themselves are made of thick paper and have a ribbon string handle which is stronge and perfect for little hands to hold. 

We carried on colouring in each bag, which is double sided. The fibre tip pens are perfect for this activity! 


The kids could not wait to fill there bags with sweets and goodies. "I'm saving them all for Halloween" they ALL told me. (We'll see, haha). Charlie also noted that they're perfect for 'Trick Or Treating' to gift sweets in. He's right, the year perfect for Halloween!



They're all proud of there "Skull Clown" bags (as Ellie has decided t o call them, haha)
Priced at just £1.49 for a pack of six, they are well worth the money! The Fibre tip pens can be brought separately (£1.98 for a pack of three, each pack contains 10 colours). These little gift bags are perfect for this time of year, any child who loves being creative would enjoy colouring these in.


Baker Ross sell a really wide range of kids arts and craft activities and kits. They have whole selection of Autumnal and Halloween arts and craft kits.They're all very reasonably priced, too :)

What's your child's favourite creative activity?

We were sent some Spooky Haunted House Photo Frame Magnets to review from Baker Ross. We absolutely love Baker Ross 'Craft It' kits. My daughter is nine years old, she enjoys being creative! She was super excited to make these Haunted House Magnet Picture Frames.



Each kit contains:

• Foam photo frame templates in assorted colours 
• Self-adhesive foam stickers
• Self-adhesive magnets.

The designs feature 5 designs - Vampire, Ghost, Skeleton, Mummy, Witch and Frankenstein. The foam templates and stickers are self adhesive which means no glue is required and minimal mess is made! The frames measure 12cm wide. (A pack of five is priced at just £1.99)


Ellie choose her template and the stickers she wanted to use in the appropriate colours that suited her (The good thing about these is you can mix and match, which Ellie thought was "Spooktacular"). She soon started sticking the pieces in place with no trouble at all. "This is so cool" Ellie told me.

"I might need some help placing my photo in place though..." She told me. Once she knew how to do it she was well away! We cut her photo to the right side and then put the back onto the frame, which is also self adhesive and holds the photograph perfectly in place. We then stuck the magnet onto the back of the frame and we were finished!




Ellie went on to make more frames and she decided she was going to cut out a cat from one of her favourite post cards because "I REALLLLLYYY adore cats and I'd quite like one in a frame" Ellie said. I offered to find a photograph of our cats but she really wanted to display one of her postcards! Bless her.


They look really spooky on our fridge! "They're epic" Ellie said proudly. And they truly are. They make lovely Halloween decorations and can be stuck to any metal surface. I am honestly going to keep these and put them on my fridge every October!


Baker Ross never fail to disappoint and I can not recommend these 'haunted house photo frame magnets' enough. They are such good value for the price. Ellie thoroughly enjoyed making them and I really enjoyed helping her. It's a really fun activity for children (and adults!).

Also, Baker Ross sell a wide range of Halloween arts and craft kits for children. Do head over and take a look. If you're anything like me, you'll have a hard job choosing as they sell a really good variety of products which are very reasonably priced. Baker Ross also sell a selection of Halloween 'Pocket Money Toys' which would make great Halloween party bag fillers.

What's your favourite thing about Halloween?

Halloween is approaching fast! In fact it's everywhere I look. We really love Halloween, the kids are super excited about and you can imagine how excited they were to make these frightful halloween handprint bat decorations that yellow moon sent us!


Each kit contains: 
4 foam bats
Coloured foam in four different coulors for the hand prints
Ribbon
Self adhesive shapes for decorating
split pins
Googly eyes.


First of all we drew around our hands and cut those out, then we used the split pins to attach the hands or "wings" to the foam bat shape. The bat size is approximately 14cm.


We loved decorating our bats with there sparkly tummies and ears! "The eyes and mouth look funny and creepy" Ellie told me! Haha. I did have to supervise and help the kids out a little bit with these because cutting was involved and the split pins needed some adult supervision. I enjoyed it though! And the kids enjoyed it. I like the fact no mess was involved and no glue is needed!


It's really easy, simple halloween craft activity that everyone can enjoy. Priced at just £3.75 for four bats, you can't really grumble! they are well worth the money and look fantastic hanging on the window handles. Making our own halloween decorations is now our new halloween tradition!


Do you have any Halloween traditions? I'd love to about them hear them if you do. :)
