Halloween brings about many activities for families to do together. Although we love attending Fall festivals, haunted houses, and corn mazes, doing Halloween Kid Crafts has to be on the top of the list as our favorite thing to do during this time of year. There is a long list of simple crafts to do with kids. However, I don’t think any get any easier than this Q-Tip Skeletons Craft.
Painting with Pinecones is a fun way to unlock some of the magic of fall while exploring the uniqueness of pinecones!
Every day we head to the park, even if it is only for 10 minutes. It’s a simple ritual that I greatly enjoy. A brief time of silence as the kids run around and have fun. The other day while we were at the park Meatball noticed a couple grey clouds. Not being able to verbalize what he was seeing, he acted it out until I understood. Following his curiosity we decided on painting shaving cream clouds once we got home.
This activity turned out to be so much more fun than I expected. In the past we have had a ton of fun playing with shaving cream but, quite honestly I expected this activity to not hold his attention for that long being outside and all. If given the choice Meatball is not one to pick sedentary activities outdoors…but leave it to him, this one definitely was not what I expected it to be.
Water bead safety
Water beads are for older kids with a grown-up right there. If swallowed, they keep growing and can cause a serious blockage, so keep them away from babies, toddlers, pets and any child who still puts things in their mouth. Count them out, count them back, and pick up any strays. For little ones, try our taste safe edible water beads instead.
D Is For Duck Craft: Lately we have been working our way through our letter of the week crafts. While I am not personally a fan of focusing on one letter for an entire week, these simple crafts are a ton of fun for getting kids exploring letters.
Is your word wall starting to take form? Yay! Are you ready for this weeks letter of the week? This week we are going to be learning about the letter D. Quack, quack. Let me ask you, do you have memories of going to the park with your parents and feeding the ducks bread? I recall many memories of watching others feed the ducks when we’d go swimming at the local river.
