Lazy Day Crafts: Halloween Coloring Pages

Five am wake-up three days in a row means mommy is way too tired to set-up a fun craft today so instead I printed a whole bunch of Halloween coloring pages from the Internet. A good hours worth of entertainment and we didn't even scratch the surface of all the zillions of coloring templates that are available for free, well besides all the paper and printer ink...

You have to sift through a lot to find some really good print-outs, but the Disney Junior website has a lot of great stuff.

Pinteresting: So Messy It's Scary Ghost Craft

Can't stop making Halloween crafts! My husband said we are running out of places to put them, but today I just had to try this fun and super messy ghost craft I found on Pinterest. Any time messy goop is involved it's sure to be a definite hit with my little one. It's a cute craft and it makes a good sensory activity. I don't think we used enough glue so it didn't stay as puffy after it dried, but we'll definitely be trying this method again, holiday crafts are just around the corner...

Pinteresting: Fizzy Colors

I decided it was about time I finally started trying some of my Pinterest pins on fun toddler activities. Today we tried this one adding vinegar and food coloring to baking soda. S had a blast watching the fizzing colors, her actual words were, "That's awesome!" Of course she inevitably wanted to stick her hands in and mix it up with her fingers. Things got a little messy but worth the fun and thirty minutes of entertainment.

Pumpkin painting

We've been cooped up for a week with a bad cold for the little one, but managed to venture out this morning for a store run and came back with a small pumpkin to decorate. A little bit of paint and some brushes and that kept her busy for about twenty minutes. Woohoo!

Glue crazy!

S has finally discovered her love of glue, can barely keep up trying to find things to glue! These dyed pasta beads I made that she never wanted to try stringing are finally coming in handy.
