It's The Great Pumpkin {Charlie Brown}!

Blog by: Teren Coulter

This is an all time classic at my house around Halloween, so I thought why not use it as a theme for a kid-friendly Halloween party.

I was inspired by the actual party scene in the movie.

{Decor}

- Pumpkins, pumpkins, and more pumpkins. There are so many free templates you can download off the Internet to create the Peanut character of your choice on your pumpkin.

- Hang adorable pumpkin lanterns and even add orange and black streamers.

- Take clip art of the Peanut characters to a copy shop where they can make you large card board stand-ups.

- Welcome your guests with a sign that says "Great Pumpkin Welcome Here!"

- If you are handy, build Lucy's Psychiatric Booth for an added prop.

- Dress up your lil' peanuts in a Charlie Brown inspired costume.

{Activities}

- Watch the movie- of course!

- Bob for apples.

- Have kids write letters to the Great Pumpkin on theme inspired paper.

- Carve, or paint, mini pumpkins.

{Food}

- A dessert bar with all types of Halloween classics: candy corn, popcorn balls, candied apples, pumpkin cookies, and a theme-inspired cake.

Happy Halloween everyone!
