Thank you so much Denise!
My kids love Halloween. We are already excited to do some fun activities! These are great options!
I’m so glad you like them! They’re perfect for this time of year.
I love everything on this list – they look so practical and uncomplicated, plus attractive. Though my grandson is only 2 and a little young for these, I can look ahead, right?
Hi Beth! My oldest is actually only two, and we are able to do most of these together (though some require a little extra help from me haha). The best part about all of these is that they can be as simple or as complicated as you want!
This looks like so much fun for the whole family! Thank you for sharing this!
It really is! My parents love getting in on craft time with their grandbabies too.
These are super cute ideas! I don’t think my 1 year old is ready for them yet, but I will save these to do with him next year!!
Hi Sydney! You can for sure tweak some of these for 1 year olds, like the paper plate jack-o-lantern! He can paint it with finger paints, or fat markers. You can also do the handprint zombies by dipping his hand in paint and making handprints, and then you drawing faces on them after they dry. We did things like that last year when my toddler was 1, too!
These are great projects I’m
Going to share this with my mom since she is homeschooling my kids while I work. Thank you!
I’m so glad you like them! It makes homeschooling a little bit more fun right now. I know I’ve been a little desperate for extra activities at our house too! haha
What adorable ideas! Feeling like I didn’t do enough of this sort of thing when my kids were little. I just love those stained glass apples!
Such cute ideas to keep the little ones busy!
Now i have a use for all the pine cones in my front yard!
I remember the pumpkin pie plate fromm when you were little.
These are adorable! All but one of my kids are in school now, so this will give her and me some fun things to do!
Too cute. Not sure which one is my favorite – but the cotton ball ghosts starting out the parade was fun. Also like the stained-glass apple. Lots of fun – I see doing this with my grandkids. Thanks for sharing.
