More Halloween & Autumn Ideas
Grandchildren love to help make things for a party so if you’re having a Halloween or Autumn party let your grandchildren help make this candy corn centerpiece. When it’s time for everyone to go they’ll have a fun treat to take home.

You’ll need:
1 container (I used a clay pot and painted it like a candy corn but you can use any container.)
syrofoam
skewers
candy corn
plastic wrap
curling ribbon

Directions:
Wrap candy corn in small pieces of plastic wrap and tie with ribbon.
Curl the ribbon and slide a skewer under the ribbon. (I had to put a piece of tape so it would stay.)
Put Styrofoam in the container and stick skewer inside to make an arrangement.
Make as many candy corn bundles as you need.

Saturday, September 28th is Family Health and Fitness Day! You can celebrate by getting your grandchildren together for some physical activities like riding bikes, hiking, jogging, or walking. Your community may have some special events planned. If it’s raining outside, you can stay inside and dance, jog in place or do jumping jacks. Your grandchildren will be able to come up with some creative activities.

You and your grandchildren will really enjoy making this unique treat together. It’s easy and fun.
For each cookie you will need:
2 vanilla wafers
1 peppermint patty
coconut
