Let's Make | Halloween DIY

Not too long to go until Oct 31st and Halloween. This is one holiday I like to celebrate with the kids and since our neighbourhood has quite a few American expats homes there is always a huge crowd of trick or treaters on Halloween evening. We try and do a few fun Halloween activities on the days leading up to Halloween so I have collected a few that we like from the excellent DIY website Mr. Printables. They all have different difficult levels so there are something for every age. Most activities have downloadable templates where you can choose to either colour in or print an already coloured version. Have fun & scary time out there!!

Haunted Houses for Halloween Treats /  Halloween Colouring Pages / Ghost Boxes for Treats / BOO! Glasses / Bag O'Bones Halloween invitations / Halloween Masks.

CREATIVE | MR.PRINTABLES

I had to share one of my favourite creative hangouts on the net. Meet MR.PRINTABLE! Mr.P is a friendly site offering creative and educational free printables for children and families. Here you can find great wall posters like MAP OF THE MOON and ALPHABET POSTERS, or how about some great INVITATION CARDS to an upcoming birthday party? Or if its a rainy day, how about making some BIRD FINGER PUPPETS?

There is no limit to the creativity here, and I LOVE how its all in the name of fun and eduction! Definitely one of our favorite places that I like to share with my kids. Check it out here:

Things I Love | Geo Paper Totem

There seem to be plenty of days when rain seem to rule the day's agenda. If this happens to be one of those days, why not try doing these geometric paper characters? You can either build a tower/totem of them or why not a mobile or a garland? Simply print, cut out and paste. Find the instructions here.
