We have to give a great review to Dawn Rice and her little guy over at
Artist Reborne for the
Halloween game they came up with. (We found it via
The Crafty Crow ...which I just love by the way! So many awesome ideas every day!) She even included
pdf downloads, so it was a snap to put together.
We had most of the needed supplies here at home.. and what we didn't have, we just substituted with something we did have. For example, we used some blocks for the bases of the playing pieces. Instead of painting the die, I colored
some white stickers and just stuck them on the sides of another block. The drawings are adorable. And though I intended this to be a kid project, I ended up doing most of the coloring on the board... my youngest did help out a little.
We made the game this afternoon and have already played it twice. Thumbs up all around. The boys said, "It's like a cooler version of Candy Land!" And my husband said, with a smile, "Yeah, just shorter!" (Is it just us? Or does it always seem to take 2 hours to play Candy Land???)
