Share A Scare Kids Halloween Lunch Ideas
Halloween falls on a school day this year. It is my daughter's first year in school and she loves to pack lunches. I started thinking how can I add a little spookiness to her lunch and what I do for one, I have to do for the other one. It is his last year of school and why not add a little fun to his lunch too.
Thanks to Nestle for sending samples for review. All opinions stated are my own based on my personal experience.
I decided to share a little scare with my kids this year. First, I added a little spooky to the refrigerator by placing a decorative pumpkin and Nestle Halloween water bottles.
Then I added a little fun to their lunch packs:
Spooky Apple Mouth or Monsters
For my son I made him a gross mouth. He loves Nutella so his mouth was full of Nutella. For my daughter I made a monster that was full of grape jelly. I used peanuts for the teeth on both.
Ghosts
For the head I used a white mini powered donut and for the body, I used marshmallows. I placed them in a small snack bag. I placed a white napkin on top. Then I used a ribbon to tie the napkin to the snack bag. My daughter said a ghost had to a face so I used a marker to add eyes, nose, and mouth.
Spooktacular Drinks
Nestlé® Pure Life® Halloween monster/Día de los Muertos calavera bottles come in cute holiday-inspired designs including a spooky cat, jack-o-lantern and two new calaveras, available in 8 oz. size water bottles that will keep the kids hydrated whether at a party, in their lunch packs, or out trick-or-treating. My kids love to drink water. Water is always in their lunch packs. These water bottles help me share a little scare with them.

Dia de los Muertos Make Up
***Disclosure-I was invited to a Nestle event at a local Fiesta mart. This is a compensated post. All opinions stated are my own based on my personal experience.
Have you ever wondered how to do a Dia de los Muertos make up? Here is a simple step by step for a Catrina:
Step 1-Start by cleaning the face with a baby wipe.
Step 2-Cover the face with white face paint. You can use a sponge or your index finger works the same.

Step 1-Start by cleaning the face with a baby wipe.
Step 2-Cover the face with white face paint. You can use a sponge or your index finger works the same.
Make sure to completely cover the entire face.
Step 3-Draw a black circle around the eyes. You can use an old eye liner. Or you can use a thin brush with the black face paint.
You will use the circle as an outline. Now color in the black circle using black face paint.
You can also use black eye shadow to fill in the circle.
Step 4-Make loops around the border of the black circle. You can use the liner or thin brush again.
Step 5-Use your thin brush or liner to make a line from one side of the mouth to the other. Use the lips as your guide.
Step 6-Now make small lines going up and down the line you drew. Making the lips look like they are sewn together.
Step 7-Color in the loops on the circles with red. Use a brush or a Q-tip.
This is the final look.
You can also add black to the tip of your nose for more of the skeleton look.

Nestle Dia de los Muertos 2015 Event
***Disclosure-This is a compensated post. All opinions stated are my based on my personal experience.
Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead is a traditional Hispanic/Latino holiday to celebrate those who have left our lives and are no longer amongst the living. There are flowers, sugar skulls, candles, frames, colorful decorations, and lots of food.
It is celebrated on November 1st, All Saints Day and 2nd, All Souls Day. A celebration of the continuum of life. Altars are set up. Favorite foods of the departed are served along with Pan de Muerto, tamales, atole, mole, and so much more.
Death has always been a scary topic for me. I try not to deal with it. I do not do well talking about it and it has been taboo. But I don't want my kids to grow up feeling this way. Dia de los Muertos is a part of our heritage and it is a good way to help get over the taboo-fear of death. A party, a Fiesta, a celebration!
Nestle hosts a Dia de los Muertos event at local Fiestas that includes face painting, free samples, coupons, and recipes to help you plan your celebrations.
We are in Fall and the temperatures are falling. This day it was rainy. That yummy Nescafe that was being served hit the spot to warm me up. Another one of my favorites to warm me up is Nestle Abuelita Chocolate.
Here is a recipe for Spicy Hot Chocolate:
Ingredients:
2 cups of 2% milk
1/2 tablet Nestle Abuelita
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
*cook's tip-sprinkle with cayenne pepper, if desired
Directions:
Heat milk in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add Abuelita Chocolate; cook, stirring frequently with a whisk, for 5 to 7 minutes or until chocolate is dissolved. Stir in cayenne and cloves; let stand for 1 minute. Using a whisk or hand blender, whisk mixture until frothy. Serve hot.
Yum. For more recipes, go to www.elmejornido.com.
