The final rotation for this Halloween classroom party is station #4: food. We planned three food items: owl cupcakes, fruit bat skewers, and spidery cheese and crackers. The only thing the students will be doing at this station is decorating their owl cupcakes. One or two people will be needed to run this station. Younger children might need two while older kids should be fine with just one helper.
In our perfect party plan the students would save their cupcakes on their desk after they have completed this station and then enjoy a plate of food after all of the stations are completed. The students can eat quietly at their desks while you or the teacher read everyone a Halloween book. *Every school has different food restrictions and many children have food allergies. Make sure you check with the teacher before you bring any food to the class.
This classroom party could also work at home or as part of another Halloween party.
Food: Owl Cupcakes.
Supplies: chocolate cupcakes in brown cupcake wrappers (0r white–your choice), chocolate frosting, Oreo type cookies, Reese’s Pieces, plastic knives or something else to frost cupcakes
Let each child make their own owl cupcake. You might want to have one made ahead of time as an example. Each child will need: a cupcake, frosting, two Oreos, two brown and one orange Reese’s Pieces. Have students frost their cupcake. Next, untwist two Oreos then carefully push two brown candies onto the white part of the Oreos. Place the Oreo eyes onto the cupcake. Then put an orange candy on its side between the eyes to make the owl beak.
Food: Fruit Bat Kebabs.
Supplies: a variety of fruit (we used green grapes, pineapple, and strawberries), skewers, plastic bat rings, hot glue gun, scissors
You’ll need to make these before the party. Cut the ring part off of the bat rings. Trim the skewers shorter if needed. Hot glue the bat to the top of the skewer. Slide fruit onto the skewer. If you are worried about the pointy end, you could trim that off after you have put the fruit on.
Food: Spidery Cheese & Crackers.
Supplies: cheese cubes, crackers, toothpicks, plastic spider rings, hot glue gun, scissors
These also need to be made ahead of time. Cut the ring part off of the spider rings. You’ll need to use flat top toothpicks or trim pointy toothpicks down. Hot glue the spiders to the top of the toothpicks. Or, if you have double pointed toothpicks, you can try poking the bottom of the spiders into the top point of the toothpicks. Stick the spidery toothpicks into cubes of cheese atop a cracker.
This amazing eye candy was created by Sara Westbrook. While you don’t have to do something so elaborate, we felt this table needed some fun Halloween treats as a centerpiece. Sara layered mini marshmallows, black licorice, pumpkin Peeps, more mini marshmallows, large black gumballs, candy corns, ghost Peeps, large orange gumballs and mini yellow gumballs. She stuck a variety of lollipops into the top. Mini marshmallows were used as filler inside the jar. All candy items were found at local grocery and craft stores.

Thanx for sharing, big hug from Italy
My daughter and I made the owl cupcakes the other day. They are so easy and cute. Everyone loved them! Thanks!
I would love for you to add this amazing idea to my Halloween Traditions link up!
I love how you used the spider rings.
that owl is ADORABLE. I’m not really celebrating Halloween, but I want to make that wise little cup cake anyway!
Love this! These are AMAZING ideas!! I’m hosting a Fabulous Fall party over at Not So Simple Housewife and I’d love for you to link this up! We are celebrating Fall and giving me and everybody else some great inspiration. We are looking for crafts, decor, food, and more! I’d love for you to add this and any other fall posts you may have!

I had trouble untwisting the Oreos. Is there a technique?
How adorable. Love all your cute ideas!
This is the cutest idea ever. And easy! I just love your site. Always an inspiration!
Hi Susan Horn–The Oreo untwisting is tricky. I push the cookie parts together with a bit of pressure as I twist. If you can’t get any to untwist onto one side, you can always scrape the white inside off with a knife and try to repair it. Good luck! xo
Love this! So adorable and such a great candy display for halloween!

[...] Please note that this recipe will only make about 19 cupcakes. I know that’s a wierd number… The batter may make more, but there are only about 39 Oreos in a package, so if you got more than one package of Oreos, you could make a few more cupcakes.
