Ideas for Halloween Fun!
Friday, October 28, 2011 at 9:11PM Who doesn't have a favorite memory of a costume they once wore... trick-or-treating, carving pumkins, and all the fun that comes with the creativity and silliness of Halloween?!
Aside from the costumes and the candy, here are a few of our favorite ideas to adding some seasonal flair to your Halloween rituals!
FROZEN FLOATING HANDS
We made these creepy looking frozen hands for our sensory tables in class today, they were a hit with our little ones! After they melted, we brought them to our light tables for some more exploration and fun.
Try this at home:
Fill a rubber glove with water. Add a few drops of food coloring and tie the opening of the glove tightly. Freeze overnight. Add them to a bathtub or simply let your child explore how they melt in a sink full of water. Have some fun with it, see if you can engage your toddlers sense of humor... try "high fives" with the spooky hands, get them to "shake" the spooky hand, tickle your toddler with the wobbly, melting fingers.
JELLO WORMS? YUM!
Try serving these Jello worms as a special after-dinner treat this Halloween... not only do they look like worms, but they feel like worms too!
Make this at home:
Place bendable straws into a can. Make Jello as indicated on the box. Pour into straws, bendable side down and chill. After refrigeration, run under warm water to pop the "worms" out.
GLOWING BATHTUB
As if bathtime wasn't fun enough?! Try adding a few glowsticks for a magical evening activity. Let your child explore the light and shadows in the water with their favorite bathtime toys.
