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). :)
Your kids are going to remember that FOREVER!! So will everyone else that comes to your house and sees it :-) Maybe you could spraypaint it black and do it every year!!
I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt. We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.
This is a great craft for even young children. I think it turned out so cute. You will need: Red, yellow and orange paint, scissors, toilet paper roll, and green construction paper (or card stock). Cut the green paper into the shape of the tree top. Use fingerprints dipped in the paint as Fall leaves. Cut 2 slits down, across from each other on the toilet paper roll. Slide tree top into those slits.
Scribbit's Winter Bazaar Rocks in My Dryers , Works For Me Wednesday When my daughter was learning to read, we started a book chain. Every time she read a book we added a link. She was so excited to see her chain grow. It eventually went around her room. She was always so proud. Colton is starting to read books, so we started his book chain today. He too was excited to add his links. I thought I would share this, maybe it will encourage you little ones to read. I am always looking for ways to encourage my kids to read, do you have any tips that you use? If so please let me know.
