Faces Without A Knife
A whole pumpkin stays whole. Children press ghost eyes and bat wings onto the skin, stand back, change their minds and move them, and the pumpkin does not go soft on the porch three days later the way a carved one does. It is the version of the tradition that works for a toddler, and it makes far less of a mess of the kitchen table.
Eight Designs, Twenty-Four Sheets
Twenty-four sheets is a classroom quantity. One sheet per child covers a party of two dozen with a little spare, and the eight designs mean the table does not fill up with identical ghosts. Sheets can be split, handed out one at a time, or dropped whole into the bags children take home at the door. A single pack usually covers both the school party and the evening at home.
On Glass And Walls
Beyond pumpkins, the stickers go on window glass facing the street, on a mirror, on the panels of a front door, and on the plain paper bags children carry out trick-or-treating. They hold on smooth surfaces and come away when the season is over. Decorating the window is a job a child can do alone at their own height while an adult works on the porch.
Odorless And Non-Toxic
Opening the pack releases no chemical smell, and the printing does not come off on fingers. The material is non-toxic, which matters when the same child who is decorating a pumpkin is also eating candy out of the bowl beside it. Colors stay bright in a window that gets afternoon sun rather than washing out to pale orange before the end of the month.
