The 31 Days of Halloween (part one)

Well, I'm posting a lot today, but I've been having some good ideas, so I have to! I've been so crazy about Halloween and cute little ghosties this year, I have about two pages of ideas to do with the kids for Halloween! Some are really simple, and some more elaborate, and some nearly impossible (who knew Roberts craft didn't carry orange boas?? :( That's central to one of my best ideas!!)... But I decided that instead of an advent for Halloween, we'd do a craft or project every day until Halloween. The boys have been having a really fun time, and I have, too!

So, on this the 2nd day of October, I'm posting what we did yesterday:


and today:


and I liked the ghosties so much, we had to make some for Parker & Stewart's and Paige's rooms:

I love your "house fell on the witch" mat. SO CUTE! I would love to do something like that that is more realistic. Hm, I'm thinking some tights, old shoes... maybe DI? I love it!

I love the project everyday idea! You keep the boys excited, you decorate your house for Halloween, and you make decorations you can use every year ALL AT THE SAME TIME! Brilliant, Natalie!

I love Halloween but I don't have decorating skills. Wish I did!
