Happy Halloween Round-Up
From your friends at Today Is Fun
ADDED October 30, 2009
Well, the big day is almost here. It's tomorrow, in fact. We hope that you've survived the run-up and that the rest of the holiday goes smoothly, too.
My family is off to a Halloween pageant at school. While we're gone, here is a round-up of our many fabulous Halloween suggestions . . .
The ever-popular (and really quite spooky) Haunted Egg.
Practice and warm-ups for little monsters. (This one would be fun at Halloween parties. It would also come in handy if the young monsters are antsy and anxious -- and impatient -- to get trick-or-treating.)
Halloween Words. Think up a Halloween word for each letter in the alphabet. This also might help your kids during a wait. And it requires some use of brains, too.
Halloween Costume Design. Have your kids invent outlandish costumes for friends and relatives. A drawing activity. And here's another fun pastime with paper and pens. A little tracing will bring about some exciting monstrous results.
A Halloween "prank" appropriate for younger kids. If you have ten free minutes to do some preparation, this one is quite worth the time. Fun for the whole family!
A little last minute decorating, perhaps? Here we suggest your kids create monsters using . . . your furniture.
Finally, here's a cute and charming Halloween book to read with your kids. And another beautifully illustrated Halloween book that teaches some Spanish along the way.
Please have a fun, happy, and safe Halloween. Oh, and if your kids wind up with any extra candy, feel free to drop it in the mail to me!
(Wait. On second thought, please email me your address so we can send you all the extra candy we wind up with here!)
Happy Halloween.
(And thanks to Lorri37 for the Halloween photo above!)
