The kids and I have been having a little Halloween fun on the cheap these days. I made them a little book with all of our
favorite songs, poems, and finger plays. I bought the book in Target's dollar section and added some glitter and stamps to the cover.
Then, I printed the songs and poems from the net and added clip artor stickers.
Most of the poems came from
Kid N Kaboodle... because this lady had all the good ones!
It took me three nap times to make it... I did not over think it at all, just cut and glued! I tried to get Mikey to help me, but he was not into the making of the book, just the reading!
In the classroom I did this on index cards and ringed them together- so that would work or I am thinking for Christmas I will use one of those cheap little plastic photo
albums.
While looking for the poems I stumbled on the best kids printable website called
Billy Bear 4 Kids. I made several games and color sheets. Like memory, mazes, counting books, and
dominos. Plus, they have a
Frankenstein paper doll printable, pumpkin
necklace, and puppets!
At the scrapbook convention, I bought this sheet of paper dolls made by Memory Markers. You can... of course get it from Two Peas
HERE. It is not finished and I bet it won't be
until next year, but my plans are to make it magnetic with a cookie sheet.
Mike's favorite is the counting book game... I think he is gonna be a '
mathie'. I just assumed both of my kids, because of my passion would be '
launguage lovers' but this kids is really good with numbers and puzzles.

I think that will be such a cool project with the paper dolls and magnetic cookie sheet. I love the song/poem book! Very cute idea as always!
ReplyDeleteFun! I have NOT really latched on to Halloween this year and every time I look at your blog I think... AAHH!!! Maybe tomorrow. ;) Great ideas!!
ReplyDeletevery cute book and I will have to check those sites out. I'm sure my kindergarten class would love some of these activities!
ReplyDeleteSuch a teacher! Your kids are so lucky to have such and enthusiastic and talented mommy!! I have a couple of those little books too but I hadn't thought of doing a song and nursery rhyme book. You are so creative!
