Before you begin,
have your child put the paper bag over his head.
With a crayon, carefully mark where the two eye holes should be.
Help cut out the two holes for eyes. Encourage the children to
use
crayons or markers to draw a face. Use a paper cup attached with
cellophane tape for a nose. Paper strips that have
been fringed or curled can be glued on for hair.

Have the children
pretend to be a spider.
Pretend to be a Witch
Provide your
children with brooms, stuffed black cats, hats, and a box
for a brew bowl. Allow the children to have fun pretending to be a witch.
Halloween Dress Up
Supply your children
with costumes to dress up in. Have them dress up,
then ask them what they are. Some examples are dresses, side heeled
shoes, scarves, plastic hats, sports jackets, and children's costumes.
Go Trick or Treating
Create an imaginary
neighborhood for your children to trick or treat in.
Have them go around from house to house (pretend) and practice
trick or treating. You can use boxes for the houses, or tape on
the floor.
Pumpkin Puppets
Each child should
cut out a pumpkin shape from orange construction paper.
Then either cut out facial features, or color them on with a black crayon.
Paste to the bottom of a paper lunch bag. Then add a green
construction paper stem.
Halloween Faces
Facial expressions
can reveal feelings to others. Encourage children to make
faces in front of a mirror that suggests feelings and appearances related
to Halloween. Examples are spooky, scary, ugly, sad, happy, and
angry.
