Always fun whether small or big

Halloween Lanterns
Take these decorative night lanterns trick or treating to light your way, or put them outside your front door or in a window to let the Halloweeners know you’re home. You’ll need to save up a few old tin cans, big and small.

Dough Balls
The kids wolf plates of these down whenever we go out for a pizza, so we thought we’d try making them at home. Cooked over a bonfire and dipped in hot garlic butter, they are something special.

Bonfire Toffee
This is a fantastically gooey toffee that can be pulled and stretched in your hands to make bite-sized pieces.

Food by Firelight
The simplest foods are best on a bonfire. First ask everyone to whittle themselves a toasting fork: each find a long stick, and whittle it down to one sharp end with a penknife. (When whittling, always teach kids to cut safely away from themselves, and to hold the stick to one side rather than between their legs.)
