Happy Halloween

There isn't a Monday's Munchie today, since I figured we would all be filling up on halloween candy but I wanted to share one more Halloween craft that I did with my toddler and wow, was it a hit!

                                Erasable Pumpkin Art!


                                        Supplies
                                Pumpkin template
                                scissors
                                construction paper
                                glue
                                clear contact paper





 Cut out 2 different size & shaped pumpkins out of construction paper.
 Glue one pumpkin to a full size sheet of construction paper, then glue the other pumpkin to the back of the construction paper.
 Using clear contact paper cover your paper pumpkins.
 Use dry erase crayons (or markers) and give your pumpkin a face (over & over & over again)  Easy as pumpkin pie!

Toddler Craft Time: Popcicle Pumpkins

My 3 year old is quite the busy bee. She always has to have something to do. I am always looking things up to do with her that keeps her learning. Since Halloween is just around the corner, I have come up with some fun activities that are centered around Halloween and Autumn. Here is one activity that focuses on Pumpkins.

Materials

6 orange popcicle sticks (I bought mine already colored from the dollar store)
2 green popsicle sticks
1 green or brown pipe cleaner
1 washable marker
hot glue gun

Take 3 orange sticks and hot glue them together, repeat with the other 3 sticks. This is your pumpkin.
Glue to the green popsicle stick (this is your fence)

Let your child draw the face of the 2 pumpkins with the washable marker.
Then, glue the pipe cleaner to the top of the pumpkin for the stem.


After we did this craft, we made these yummy pumpkin cookies. While the cookies were in the oven we read this cute book....
