O Halloween Tree, O Halloween Tree !!!


I ran out of places to put all our Halloween decorations, so I got out one of my artificial trees and made it into our Halloween Tree. My husband thinks I am crazy, but my kids just love it.

I LOVE Halloween trees! I've only done mine with branches but my mom has used an artificial tree (similar to yours) for her Halloween tree. I think it's fun and festive...and it's also nice to get more use out of objects you'd only use once a year (meaning the tree at Christmas). :)

Super Easy Volcanos

I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt.

Here is another repost, we are doing bugs at preschool, so this fits right into what we are doing. I found this cute craft on the Better Homes and Garden website. My kids saw it and could not wait to make it (because it is a bug). I made some modifications to it to make it a little easier for younger kids. Do not be scared of the paint because you do not have to use it. I know paint can be messy. You will need toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, pom-poms, paint or markers or green construction paper for the body (to make the toilet paper roll green), wiggly eyes, chenille stems, green foam sheet or construction paper and a pencil. Have the kids paint the toilet paper roll green. OR you can have them color it with a marker OR just wrap it in green construction paper and glue it. While the paint is drying, I get all the pieces set up to glue on. I used foam sheets to cut out legs but construction paper will work too. For the nose, I cut a triangle out of craft ...
