I adore the book “The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin!” It is the cutest little tale about how wonderful it is to embrace the qualities that make you unique from everyone else, and they might even be the qualities needed to save the day!
If your child loves this book as much as our family does, then you can keep the story going with a fun little DIY “Spookley’s Pumpkin Patch Shape Match” game.

The leaves may not quite be turning yet, but I sense an urge in the air for the season to begin to change soon. As fall begins to approach, you can chat about the changing season with your little one and make your very own dreamy fall scene with simple painted autumn trees! This activity is simple and fun – and requires very little materials, many of which you might have laying around your home. This activity is also an excellent way to strengthen fine motor skills by using a cotton swab to dab foliage onto the paper.

A story in a bag activity is great for young kids to develop early literacy skills. It is also a great way to connect with your kiddo and have some Halloween fun by adding a “spooky story” twist.
You can do this with toys and everyday items in your house and simply “ping-pong” a tale back-and-forth with your child and create a fun spooky tale together for as long as they are interested. Some kids, may just want to explore the objects themselves and play- and that’s OK too! There’s no set rules!
Here is how we approached it:

I am already working on getting my kids into the Halloween spirit by creating spooky activities they can join in on!
Our latest adventure is creating our very home handmade finger painted monster shirts. This is a great activity for toddlers or older kids as well. I had to add some final touches to each monster tee, but older kids could have a blast adding their own monster face, however my 1-year-old and 2-year-old are not quite ready to paint with such detail.
I love this activity too, because now my boys have a little keepsake from their toddler years that we could dress a stuffed animal in or make small pillow from once they grow out of it. It’s kinda like a never ended craft in that regard…
This is a rather inexpensive craft if you already have the supplies, you’ll just need to pick up some new shirts to paint on! Keep reading for more monster shirt activity inspiration:

Hey there internet! It’s been a loooong time since I have shared some ideas, style and stories with you. I’ve been a busy mom of two babies under the age of two-years-old, and it is not for the faint of heart. My greatest DIY project of all time has been figuring out motherhood along with creative ways for my kiddos to play and learn – and keeping the house somewhat clean (I don’t think a completely chaos free house will exist until my boys are 18 LOL! but I do love me some chaos… 😉 )
Now that my oldest has stopped putting absolutely everything in his mouth, I can finally whip up some fun sensory bins – and what is more fun than celebrating spooky season in August with a Halloween-themed sensory bin!
