Halloween ideas ?

[5 Little Monkeys]

The day of Halloween we have a small party. I ask the parents to send a costume and I put them in it around 930/10. We dance, show off their costumes. My fiancé will dress up as oscar the grouch and hand out the treat bags I made for them ( plastic gloves filled with chocolate bars, rubber spiders and snap bracelets). We will read Halloween stories that I haven't read yet. Lunch will be themed and a special treat for dessert. Some parents send treats so all those will be handed out but sent home to be opened.

We do a lot of art leading up to Halloween but I may do a small one that day. Some are planning on picking up early that day so the party is over at lunch so that after nap it's just free play and an easy snack. So glad it's a Friday this year and no dealing with tired children the next day lol

My special Halloween art project this year is Fizzle Pumpkin Painting. Add baking soda to the paint and then after they are done painting their little pumpkins they get to put drops of vinegar on it and watch it fizz up. So combines art and science. Should be fun!

Also am making orange playdough and letting them use popcorn kernels to make jack o lantern faces.
