Our Fall/Halloween Sensory Tub

I was trying to make a sensory tub with corn but I couldn't find any for some reason. So I bought bird food and that is what I used! They are sun flower seeds. I bought them at the 99 cent store. I used two bags. I also added spiders, and other plastic rings, an eye scoop, etc. My kids really like to play with it. I also added "invisible" numbers.  

Share a link of your sensory tub!!

Last Minute Halloween Favors/Spooky Critter Snot! (Slime)

Spider Snot! Euuwwww!!!!

We made spooky critter snot to give away instead of candy! I love halloween but I don't love candy. So I found what gave me this idea and recipe at All Things Simple by Kim. We made several batches and it came out great! 

Kim used a 2oz plastic cup made for salsa also called souffle cup. I used a 4oz cup and I bought it at Smart and Final. They were expensive and the caps come separate. I paid 4.19 dollars for the lids and 5.49 for the cups...I bet you can find it cheaper on Amazon or ebay. 

I added a ring that I bought at the dollar store. I would have also

put eye balls if I would have thought about it earlier. But Halloween is tomorrow and

I won't have time to find them. Maybe next year!

So instead of giving candy I will give them spooky critter snot, vampire snot, or skull snot to the trick

or treaters! I also have little box of stickers I bought at the dollar store.

Have a wonderful and fun Halloween!!!!!!!!!

DIY Halloween Meaningful Tombs and Ghosts

Why to spend many dollars at the near Halloween store when you can make your own tombs for a dollar or 2! I got foam board from the Dollar Tree store and I used chalk and 2 paint sticks. I will make more with acrylic paint that also sell in the Dollar Tree store.  So I just spent 2 dollars! One for the board that cut in half to make 2 tombs and the acrylic paint! I already had the paint sticks.

 This tomb belongs to my so so loved grandma that past away last year! I love you Clara Golobochansky!!!! We used to call her Jamela.

We are going to make Ghosts out of white poster board and I will post them soon! So check back tomorrow or so!

Cancion de Halloween

I found this video in youtube. It is in Spanish.I think is great because not only I like the music you can teach about the clock and time with it. I am not planning to let my child watch it...He doesn't watch TV or videos at home but I can use the music for circle time or may be I'll make a felt story with it. ( I will post it if I make it)
Anyway, here it is:

Encontre este video en youtube. Es en Castellano. Esta bueno, porque no solo me gusta la cancion sino que podes encenar acerca del reloj y la hora. No estoy planeando dejar a mi hijo ver el video...El no mira TV o videos en casa pero podemos usar la cancion para aprender o tal vez tambien hare con ella las piesas para el pizarron de felpa que tenemos.
