Halloween is Coming

 

Welcome

As Halloween gets closer and closer, my little ones are getting more and more excited.

Some of them have never really experienced Halloween as last year brought many Covid restrictions and limitations.  

I have slowly been decorating and getting ready for our party on Friday that will be so fun.

So here's what we did last week.

Pumpkin Suncatchers

These fun catchers are fun and easy to make.

I just cut a pumpkin shape from some black paper, attached some sticky contact paper on the back and the kids placed pieces of tissue paper to the sticky side.  

When it was full, we glued on the features and added a piece of contact paper to the other side.

Pumpkin Shakers

This shaker was made by covering a paper tube with orange paper, then added the details.

We placed some macaroni inside to make the shaker sound. 

 It is the safest to use something edible in the shakers just in case the child breaks it opens and happens to eat some of the contents.

Halloween Printables

I printed these out and the kids coloured them

Find them HERE.

Ghosts

I cut the ghost shapes from some white paper, the kids decorated with pieces of white tissue, then I added the tails to blow in the wind.

Witch

This cute little witch printable can be found HERE.

Envelope Ghosts

I took a white envelope, sealed it then cut the bottom off.

The kids decorated them for a simple ghost puppet.

Halloween Mobile

I found these cute wooden shapes at the Dollar Tree.  

We coloured them, then glued on some circles to decorate.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Happy Canada Day

 

Hello and Welcome

This was a week busy celebrating Canada Day!

Often days when we go for a neighbourhood walk, we try and spot as many Canadian Flags as we can.  It a fun game of search and find.

So here's what we did this week.

Canada Day Banner

Simple gluing leaves and some dots just for fun.

Canada Day Necklace

I used an old CD and we covered it with paper to look like the flag.

Added beads and done.

Canada Day Decoration

The kids decorated some paper cups and we strung them together to make a wind chime

Canada Flags

Canada Day Mobile

Simple mobile made with a paper plate and some added streamers.
