Happy Halloweeeeeeeeen !!!

A very Happy Halloween to you all!  I hope the weather isn't too bad where you are! Its heavily raining here unfortunately but hopefully it'll dry up a bit later on for all the trick or treaters!!

It's been a very crafty week here as we've been preparing for Halloween ! We have made lots of fun decorations to hang on the windows, and today we baked Halloween cupcakes !


These are our paper plate witches and pumpkins!


These are cotton wool fluffy ghosts!!!!


And this is a paper plate ghost with tissue paper tails!!

We also did sponge painting to decorate these witches and spiders! 



So today we took a break from the arts and crafts and we baked these cupcakes! Obviously there was more than 2 but i chose the neatest 2 to take pictures of!! 


Thats what we busied ourselves with this week !! 

Looking forward to sharing our activities next week !!

Happy Thursday Everyone!

What wonderful Autumn weather we're having lately, chilly enough to put on our snuggly jackets but dry outside so we can go on lovely leaf chasing hunts!



There's a forest just up the road from us, and during the summer we spent many days of the week up there, and I'm glad that now Autumn is here we're still getting the chance to enjoy its beauty!






Yesterday we went for a lovely walk on one of the looped paths, and we collected leaves along our way ! I was going to let the children stick the leaves onto a plain page when we got home....  But it was quite late already at that point and they were hungry and tired, so i fed them and put them down for their nap.... ( They both have a 2 hour nap during the day)

I washed the leaves in the sink and left them to dry on kitchen towel....




While they were sleeping i decided to make an "Autumn Tree" picture for them both to stick their leaves on to! While we were on our walk we were discussing the seasons and I explained about the leaves turning brown etc. So i thought it would be fun for them to stick their leaves onto their Autumn Trees, to recreate what we had seen in the forest, some leaves will be on the floor, some floating down and others still on the branches!



They loved the idea and had great fun glueing the leaves !!

Here are the finished pictures :)



Thanks so much for reading!!
