Yarn Spider Webs

This week I put out different length pieces of white yarn and some plastic spiders. The kids are using the lengths of yarn to make their own spider webs.

 

Pumpkin Pounding ... again!

This is one of my favorite activities so I am posting it again this year! I just love watching the kids try to figure out how to get that stubborn golf tee all the way in the pumpkin. It is fine motor skills AND problem solving!

Jack-o'-Lantern Emotions

At this age, emotions are so hard for children to interpret and respond appropriately. What better way to practice identifying emotions than with Jack-o'-Lanterns!

 

Halloween Sensory Hands

Our newest addition to the science shelf ... Halloween Sensory Hands! We filled rubber gloves with flour, hair gel, sand, shaving cream and cotton balls. Spooky!

We made pumpkin dough! We added candy corn for a little decoration.

Fall Sink or Float

Today we made predictions to see if fall items would sink or float. We tried candy corn, candy pumpkins, apple, pumpkin, gourd, pie tin, pinecone, pumpkin pie filling and leaves. Then we made a chart to see how many items of each.

Fall Lacing Cards

I just made some new lacing cards for our classroom. They were super easy to make and such a nice activity to have out on the shelf for the kids to use.

I punched holes in foam fall cut-outs.

Little Miss Muffet

I am finally getting a chance to post some of the fun things we have been doing in our room! It has been a crazy couple weeks :)

Today we are working on matching pictures with their beginning letter. We are using the Little Miss Muffet theme to practice!

We also made a SUPER CUTE class book based on Little Miss Muffet! Here is one of the pages :)
