Here's what we've been working on lately.
Jack-o-lantern paper plate:
Diego painted the orange and glued the face on, and I think he even cut part of the leaf hands out. He often gets tired of a craft three minutes after we start. Boys.
Bat Stencil:
Here we used a bat stencil I cut out of a cereal box (see box left on counter) and sponge painted it on black paper. This didn't turn out as cute as I thought, but he had fun seeing the bat image after we peeled it off. Again, this lasted about three minutes.
Owl collage:
Somehow, I ended up doing most of this one. He did like gluing the pieces on, but I did most of the tearing and cutting. Definitely a joint effort.
And my favorite...handprint spiders. He loved making the spiders, but we had to let it dry and he didn't want to come back to do the sparkly webs so I had to add those on myself. I still think they're so cute.
Halloween Calendar:
Diego loves, loves adding each day onto the calendar. These numbers are from Counting Coconuts and she has lots of printable theme calendar numbers. The felt pumpkin sounds like a good idea, but Diego's not really into it. Isabela and I have changed it a couple of times though :)
Haunted houses:
And I even tried to get the big kids involved. I told them to use some shoe boxes and turn them into haunted houses however they wanted. Sounds fun, right? Joaquin ended up throwing a HUGE fit out of frustration so I said, "Fine, Joaquin, just don't do it." Then he disappeared for about ten minutes and came back with this. I thought it was pretty cool.
Isabela, as is custom, still hasn't finished hers. I'm not sure how long we'll have black scrap paper laying all over the house.
