All set for Halloween!

Each week this month, we've tried to do a craft that is Halloween related. Our first one was the pumpkins, bats, and skeletons that mommy cut and Ava colored and helped hang. She loves pointing them out one by one, "putt-nin, batttt, and skey-ton".

Materials: orange, black and white construction paper, glue stick, scissors, crayons

We borrowed this next idea from kelly and hannah-thanks!. So simple and cute! We cut a trash bag in half and cut strips. Easy! They are hanging in our doorways. These were a hit for the first few weeks!

Materials: trash bag, scissors, tape (to hang)Next, we borrowed this one from Ava's favorite Barney Halloween Video. We folded a black piece of paper in half and traced her hand, wrist on fold. We cut out the hand and cut off the thumbs and voila! A Spider!

Materials: black construction paper, wiggly eyes, white crayon, scissors, glue

Then we made silly ghosts! We took a piece of kleenex and stuffed another piece inside it to form the head. Took some dental floss and tied it around the neck, leaving enough left over to hang. I remember making these when I was little, so that was so neat to do with Ava.

Materials: Kleenex, dental floss

We are all spooked out and ready for Halloween 2008! Woo Hoo!
