Looking for a simple craft idea? We have a few to choose from
Create a skeleton using white construction paper (for the head), Q-tips (for the bones), and glue. Label the body parts in French for an educational twist!
Pumpkin faces out of felt. Cut out orange felt for pumpkins and use black felt for eyes, noses, and mouths. Mix and match to create different faces.
Need a mess-free painting craft for your littles ones (or big kids if you just want to skip the mess!)? Quickly draw out a pumpkin on white paper (or card stock if you have it). Cut it out and place in a Ziploc bag. Add some yellow and red paint, and seal the bag tight. Have your child mix the colours together and spread the paint around to paint the pumpkin orange! Mess free and a learning activity on mixing colours- win win!
Feeling magical? Create a potion with water, dish soap, and optional food coloring. Stir, say some magic words, then blow bubbles with a straw—a simple yet enchanting activity!
Try making your own Halloween BINGO sheet with cut-out pieces. Whoever finds a line of Halloween decorations first wins BINGO!
A fun Halloween counting game is to create monsters with lots of eyes! For this game, simply draw out a simple monster shape… or one with lots of details but leave out the eyes! Then using a dice, see how many eyes your monster should have! Add googly eyes and have fun creating your monsters. For younger kids, you can leave out the dice, and see how many eyes they want to place on the monster, then have fun counting together!
You can also have fun going around your home or neighbourhood by completing a search and find. We love this one here by Amélie Isabelle! You can either walk around and search for those items, or cut our the images and hide them around your house to find.
