Paint a pumpkin...add sparkles and stickers....

Glue leaves to a donout shaped piece of paper and make a wreath.

Just use google.com...I love google, I do crafts with my daughters playgroup. You can find lots on there. Good luck!

I got out the glue sticks, crayone and construction paper for my kids last week.

I drew a pumpkin (at least that's what is was supposed to look like) on an orange paper and then drew various shapes on black paper. I had to do most of the cutting, but the 3 yr old tried her darndest, and then the pieces got glued onto the paper.

The 18 month old kept wanting to eat the glue stick, so I took it from her and gave her crayons to color her pumpkin.

They both had a good time.

Oh, you may want to make treat bags. You could get some lunch size paper bags and use glue sticks to put yarn pieces, glitter, etc...on them and have them color the bags.

We also used to make masks out of paper plates. You could cut out holes for the eyes and the kids color faces or whatever on them. Then you just punch 1 hol on each side of the plate and use yarn to tie the mask on their face.

Hope that helps, now I also have a list of stuff for my kids!

this is embarrassing it is so easy and good for the attention span of 3's:

Fun Ghosts
take small plastic bags (white may be best, but I used ones with polka dots)

cut off a somewhat large corner

crumple paper into a ball to make head for the ghost

use a pipe cleaner to close

use markers, stickers or glue on foam paper to make a face

voila! your ghost is ready to hang in a tree outside or in a room inside.

Thanks for your suggestions...my creative juices are flowing!

Plus, have some neat ideas to do with my kids at home too!

Here are a few things that we do:

**Decorate Pumpkins: Like lizzygirl said, glitter and stickers are great. You can also add plastic eyes, pom-poms, feathers, etc. Buy the tiny pumpkins and every one can take one home.

**Decorate Halloween Cookies. Or melt white chocolate, dip pretzel rods into it and let the kids sprinkle them with orange sprinkles.

**Lollipop Ghosts: Buy large lollipops, wrap two tissues (kleenex) around the round lollipop top, gather the tissue and tie a bow directly below the sucker. Add eyes with some craft glue and you have a cute little ghost!

**Also, you could bring the pumpkin patch to them. Get 15 or 20 mini pumpkins and mark the bottom with shapes, colors and/or numbers. Have the children make their way into the "faux pumpkin patch" and have them work as a team to separate the pumpkins into piles (for example, all the pumpkin with squares or shapes would go into one pile, and so how. It's an educational, seasonal and fun game... all rolled into one!

Happy Halloween

Ooooo....I like the Pumpkin Patch sort...

I am not in charge of the game. I think the girl in charge of the game is doing a 'Hot Pumpkin' version of 'Hot Potato'
