Bring on Halloween

Hello and Welcome

As Halloween gets closer my little ones get more excited!

They love to create and we spent a very busy week doing lots of fun projects and making decorations.

So here is what we created this week.

Change the Face Pumpkins

These pumpkins were super fun to create.  

We started with an orange paper plate as the front then I cut spaces for the eyes and the mouth.

The back paper plate is where you add the details and when you turn the back plate, the face of the pumpkin goes from happy to scary.

Pumpkin Emotions

Scary Skeletons

These skeletons are a simple print off.  The kids coloured them and then we cut them to make a scary lantern.

Here is the printout:

Spider Hats

These simple spider hats were easy to do and the kids looked so cute wearing them all day.

Spider Mobile

Here is a super easy spider mobile we made. 

This spider was double sided which worked great for the mobile.

Moving Eyes Mummy

This was so super fun to create.  We made a little video to show you their spooky eyes.

Using a green paper plate, I cut out the eye area, then we glued on torn paper pieces on white paper over the plate.  I glued on 2 strips onto the back to the plate to attach the eyes and when the kids pulled the strip, the eyes moved.  

Here is the link for this one.

Haunted House

What would Halloween be without a Haunted House!

This was a fun one to do.  The windows and doors are glued on after and when open, they reveal some Halloween characters.  

For the littlest ones, you could turn it into a game.  Find the cat, where are the bats etc.

Cutting Practice

I drew and cut out ghost shapes.  I drew lines onto the ghost and the older kids cut the along the lines to create a fun ghost that waved in the air.  We did decorate them too!

Just a silly Halloween cat we used to colour that I drew.

Witch

This is a cut printout to colour and assemble to make a standing witch.

Here is the printout:

Halloween Banner

I drew some banners for the kids to colour.  

Finally.....

We made these fun spider snacks.

We took 2 round crackers.  The kids spread peanut butter on one then we added the 8 legs.  

Pop on the top and add the eyes with some more sticky pb.

This was a great fine motor activity as most are not used to spreading with a knife.  We also counted the spider legs and learned that they have 8 legs.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

More Halloween to come next week!!
