Halloween is Coming...

I love that there are creative people out there to give me lots of fun ideas to do with my own kids.  This month, we're doing a countdown to Halloween.


So during conference this weekend, I had the kids decorate strips of paper to make this Halloween paper chain.  Then we wrote a fun activity on each one to do each day as we countdown to Halloween.  I got a lot of my ideas here, but changed out a few with some of my own and depending on what we found on sale at Michael's. :)  Tonight we are making these Ghostly Marshmallows.  It will just be a fun way to welcome fall and get ready for Halloween.  Yippee!!

Thanks for posting that link. Fall is definitely my favorite season, but halloween is definitely not my favorite holiday. Those ideas are really great and will help me be more festive for my kids :)

We just made a countdown last week, but I really like your idea of a daily activity. I just might have to steal it! :)
