Shape Monsters
Part of our fun and far away from scary as possible, but still Halloween themed activities we did was create shape monsters. I’ve done a similar activity in my classroom as a teacher for a transportation unit, where I gave the children a wide variety of pre-cut shapes in different colors and sized and let them use…

Final Paint Colors!
Many of you saw the “dalmatian” walls I had in trying to decide paint colors. I loved all your comments and suggestions on paint colors – especially those that gave reasons behind it.

Ghost Mud
Landon has a very active imagination – really what 3 year old doesn’t. He’s also started discovering the emotion of fear.

Punching Pumpkins
I had grand plans with the project, which turned into an epic fail for an activity with kids. My initial plan was to follow what we did, but add a step of putting Christmas lights in the holes. It didn’t turn out that way – but what we did was fun and had some great…

Decorating Pumpkins
A great way to celebrate the fall season with out carving pumpkins (ya know 3 year olds and sharp knives don’t jive well) is to simply decorate them with craft supplies. Pull out the glue bottle, paint, beads, stickers, feathers, etc…. and let them use their imagination! The mini pumpkins were less than a dollar…
