Getting Ready for Halloween

 It's Halloween season and my little ones are filled with excitement.

All the decorations and getting ready for the big day is so fun.

We've been traveling the neighbourhood looking at all the amazing decorated houses and creating lots of fun projects for them to take home and decorate with.

So, here's what we did the past few weeks.

Happy Thanksgiving

 Welcome

Here in Canada, we celebrated our Thanksgiving at the beginning of October.

We had fun making lots of turkeys and learning about them.

So, here's what we got up to.

Sitting Turkeys

I made a brown paper cone and we decorated them to look like turkeys.

Turkey Wreath

Inflatable Turkey

We used a plastic glove, decorated it with feathers and details and I added it over a cup with a straw.  

When the kids blew into the straw, the turkey would inflate.

THEY LOVED IT!

Let's Go Camping

 Hello

Is it just me or did summer fly by??

We've spent many fun summer days enjoying the weather and creating when it's too hot to be outside.

So, here's what we did the past few weeks.

Campfire and Roasting Marshmallows

We decorated paper tubes that I covered with brown paper and then added the flame and the stick with the cotton ball on the end.  

We sat around the fires telling stories...so fun!

Camping Tents

I made these by cutting off the top part of a water bottle and then attaching a plastic cup over it using a pipe cleaner.  The kids decorated them with coloured tapes and then we added a little battery light.
