Kid Friendly…Halloween Monster Doughnuts
Halloween is one of my absolute favorite holidays, so many fun things to do. Our family dresses up in costumes, played lots of games, read spooky stories and broke a pinata filled with lots of candy. One of the games everyone loved was Doughnut on a String.(To play the Doughnut on a String Game you’ll need a variety of doughnuts. Tie each doughnut on the end of a stringing hanging from a tree. Each party game player places their hands behind their backs (it’s a no hands game!) and tries to be the first person to eat their entire dangling doughnut before others!)
