This can be lots of fun especially if you use a little bit of creativity with it. For Halloween one year my son's teacher needed a volunteer for being a room Mother to bring in treats and pass them out on the day of the party. I volunteered and made cupcakes...it wasn't anything fancy, but it meant a lot to my son! I had the best time ever passing the cupcakes out to the kids. After the cupcakes...the kids colored pumpkins on some poster board paper. They used glitter glue, buttons, and yarn to dress their drawings up. I remember walking up and down the rows encouraging each child with thier project. It made me feel really good inside being a part of the festivities that day.
Here are a few Halloween recipes for room Mothers to use and bring in to their child's school
