Halloween Activities

Halloween is fast approaching. Kara has been scrambling to fit in some Halloween activities before the 31st has come and gone.

Last week she pulled out the foam art pieces left over from last year. Jake, Viva, and Bentley each put together a collage. Jake stuck with this activity for longer than Viva. Viva was a little miffed that her brothers confiscated all the "good" ghosts before she got focused on the activity. The kidlets asked to make foam collages again this week. Jake made two collages to Viva and Bentley's one each. I asked the children to pose with their first collage. They were not entirely cooperative.


Yesterday Kara made chocolate sugar cookie dough and then left to take great-grandma to a doctor's appointment while I had the fun (?!) of rolling out the dough and supervising the decorations. The trio ate more decorations than they used on the cookies. Here is a plate of their finely decorated cookies. Bentley did the bats, Jake did the cat and top pumpkin, and Viva did the ghost and the other two pumpkins.



In addition to collages and cookies, the trio has listened to Halloween music and read Halloween books.
