It's Halloween! We had such a fun day. I planned a special tot school lesson for Emma to celebrate today. First, we sang a Halloween song found
here. We only own one Halloween book (Where Is Baby's Pumpkin?), so we checked out a few from the library and read those.
Usborne Books & More has a few cool options, too!
For our first activity, we made monsters (a ghost and a spider to be exact) out of PlayDoh. This was our first time using googly eyes, and Emma LOVED playing (and chewing) on them.
Afterwards, we played Pumpkin Says (aka Simon Says, Halloween style). I didn't get a good picture while we did it, but some of the commands used were:
- Howl like a werewolf
- Grin like a jack-o-lantern
- Boo like a ghost
- Cackle like a witch
- Hobble like a zombie
- Show me your scariest face
Emma only did some of the moves, but it was something fun to try anyhow. To celebrate Halloween with Daddy, we went trick-or-treating at the mall in the evening (it was so-so), then in the neighborhood of Phil's co-worker (much better - they gave out full-sized candy bars)! After we got home, Phil made a cute (and delicious) jack-o-lantern pizza and we watched Hocus Pocus.
Definitely stayed up past bedtime, but fun memories were made today!
