Halloween fun



3 of my former daycare kids came to visit today so I had lots of fun things planned.

First, we made Pumpkin Rice Krispie treats. It actually went much smoother than I thought it would. We ran our hands under very cold water, dried them well and formed the pumpkin shaped balls. If thins got sticky we just used more cold water. The little kids helped with the tootsie rolls. 

After that we did a Pumpkin STEM challenge. I gave the kids toothpicks and pumpkin candies and let them build towers.


My two kids didn't build long, but the 3 older kids seemed to enjoy it.


In the afternoon we made Paper Plate Ghosts. The little kids needed constant help, but the big kids were able to get more creative with theirs.


Af snack time we played the kids favorite version of holiday bingo. I fill their cards with various snacks and then when I call the "number" they eat what is in that square. It's reverse black-out. The first kid to clear their card, wins! I started this version to help my three year old try new foods. He has an oral and food aversion that severely limits his diet.
