Halloween can be so controversial, but for me & my house it is FUN!
We had our own little “school” party yesterday. It just so happens that we are studying bats & spiders this week in our science curriculum. *Tyler is totally freaked out by Vampire Bats! In the pictures below the kids were playing a bat game. Tucker was pretending to be a bat that can’t see good at night & has to rely on his hearing (hints the blind fold). The bottom picture is of him being a dead bat . . . his hearing wasn’t very good & he flew dead smack into the wall. Poor poor little bat. To end our bat-ventures we read Stellaluna for story time.
Next they got a little creative & made jack-o-lanterns on each others backs using felt cutouts.
Tucker decided to take the activity one step further . . .
They enjoyed this so much that they wanted to make more at the table.
Once again Tucker took it one step further . . .
He was quite done with frogs from the day before :)
My Mustangs really enjoyed some spooning/transferring activities:
I purchased a pumpkin ice-cube tray at the dollar store, along with the Halloweenish balls & added pumpkin seeds. They used a spoon for transferring the balls & making patterns. Then they used kid tweezers to transfer the seeds. Tucker added a seed to each slot. Example: first slot: 1 seed, next slot 2 seeds, then 3 & so on. So we got math & motor skills done in one activity.
To end our Halloween activities I traced their footprints onto a sheet of white foam & we made a footprint ghost (from Oriental Trading Company).
What a day we had! Next: Trick-or-Treating!!
