Toadstools and goblins provide a good motif for a children's party. The toadstools consist of orange balloons "growing" on long stems of pale green crepe paper. These may be pinned to the walls at various heights or thumb-tacked to the floor. A few leaves and tree branches add to the decorative scheme.

Use one of the inner doorways as the entrance to the Goblin's Cave, made of blankets stretched across chairs, where a gnome tells fortunes.

Have a Goblin's Relay. Play Harvest, Autumn Leaves, Doughnut Puncture, and Hallowe'en Ten Pins.
Your final game might be Toadstool Scramble in which there is a grand rush for all the balloon toadstools you have for
decorations.

You'll find some good things to gobble at your Goblin Party by looking through our recipes.

Furnish plenty of small prizes for all winners.

• For this scheme two long tables covered with appropriate crepe paper or paper table coverings are used.
• High overhead, between the tables, place a long horizontal wire.  From this as a center, radiate long strips of twisted crepe paper in orange and black.  Attach them to the farther side of the tables, making an archway down which the line moves for refreshments.
• The candles on the table are placed in tiny Jack-o'-lanterns formed from large red apples.
• You could make the apples into goblins by fastening to a smaller apple with toothpicks and using candy orange-slices for arms and legs.

Scores of other decorating ideas can be built about familiar themes, such as the witch and cat, elves and fairies, pumpkin and apple boys, spider webs and hollow trees, peaked hats and cauldrons, owls, bats and broomsticks.
