Play dough Fun

Let children assist you with making play dough.  Add orange
 kool-aid powder to dough.  Give children Halloween
 cookie cutters to use with the play dough.

Mirror Painting

For delightful disguises, try this neat twist on face painting.
 In advance collect a few large hand mirrors. Then pour a few
 colors of tempera paint into shallow pans. Add a small amount
 of dishwashing liquid to each pan. Then, working with one small
 group at a time, give each child a mirror. Invite him to look at
 his reflection. Then have him finger-paint features onto the surface
 of the mirror to alter his reflection.  Offer suggestions for additions
 such as glasses, freckles, wild hair, hats, or mustaches. When
 finished, rinse and dry the mirrors; then invite the next small group
 to mirror paint. You'll hear giggles galore as your little ones
 design their disguises!

Scary Find

A scary find where I put spider rings and other such
 stuff for Halloween in a bin of dirt for them to find.

Bobbing Jack-o'-Lanterns

Your youngsters will have a ball when strengthening fine-motor skills at this
 seasonal center. Use a black permanent maker to draw jack-o'-lantern faces
 on a quantity of orange Ping-Pong balls; then float the balls in your water table.
 Place a fishnet (or large spoon) and a jack-o'-lantern bucket nearby. Using one
 hand, a child manipulates the net to scoop the jack-o'-lanterns, then drops
 them into the bucket. For a variation, encourage a youngster to
 use his other hand or to wear a blindfold.
