How to Make Brain Activities for Halloween
- 1). Make brain-theme snacks and desserts with your kids. Try brain dip, using cauliflower and guacamole; and brain surgery salad, made with lime gelatin and fruit cocktail. Find brain-themed snack recipes at CDKitchen and other food websites. Many kitchen and department stores sell brain-shaped molds for gelatin or ice cream.
- 2). Make "brain bingo" cards at DLTK-Cards.com.
- 3). Print out different "brain teasing" puzzles and activities. SuperTeacherWorksheets.com features a long list of Halloween and brain-themed activities such as word searches, crossword puzzles and dot-to-dot pictures. Check out the brain-shaped maze at Disney's Family Fun website.
- 4). Set up a mock mad-scientist laboratory on a buffet table or your kitchen counter. Use peeled grapes to feel like eyeballs, a sliced banana peel to feel like a tongue and cold cooked spaghetti noodles to feel like a bowl of brains. Have people close their eyes as they walk past the lab feeling each object with their hands.
