Halloween Ideas

Hello!  Halloween is quickly approaching.  It is one of my favorite times of year.  Too bad my daughter (3 years old) is scared of costumes and does not like them.  She has said a firefighter costume *might* be okay and she might possibly put one on.  I’m not doing any Halloween themed after school art classes this year (I have a shrinky-dink one that I am doing this week), but I thought I would re-post some of my fun Halloween projects from the past.
Spider Thumbprints

Halloween Wreaths— this was super fun and awesome, but it was a lot of preparation for a class (many hours shopping).  I would do this again with a small group of kids.

  1. Is it that time of year already? I love the skeleton hanging below your wreathe 🙂

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
