These spider webs look great when hung in random corners around the room. What I like to do is let them dry and then attach a white string with a construction paper spider cut-out that has the child’s face mounted on. I’ll wait until all the children are gone to hang these in various places and they love going and looking for their own the next day when they arrive.
You’ll need:
A round cake pan
Black construction paper
White paint
Marbles
Use the cake pan as a template and trace around the outside. Cut enough off the edges so that the paper fits inside the pan. You’ll need one paper for each child.
When it’s time for the activity, place the paper inside the pan, then add a small spoonful of white paint right in the middle of the paper. Put the marble in the pan and allow the child to [...]

Cooking and eating pumpkin pie is a special treat that can be added to a Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Fall Curriculum theme. Most of the mixing, measuring, pouring and such should be done by the children if they are old enough.
This no bake variety is especially good for the youngest group. You can buy pre-made graham cracker tarts or you can give them a bowl with graham crackers to crunch into tiny bits and then come around with a little bit of melted butter to make it a “crust” in their bowls. A second bowl can be used to mix together the pudding mix, milk and pie filling and then they can pour it onto their crust. You can also make it one big pie as follows:
You’ll need:
1 can PREPARED pumpkin pie filling
1 package instant vanilla pudding
1 cup milk
1 prepared graham cracker pie shell
Mix the [...]

Roasting pumpkin seeds is a fun activity after carving a pumpkin. Not only do you get to have a nutritious snack, you get to talk about using the seeds and not being wasteful.
Gather all the seeds and have the children dig through them (after washing hands, of course) to pick off the pulpy bits.
Put the seeds in a colander and let the children take turns stirring the seeds up in a sink of running water to wash the seeds.
Spread the seeds on a towel and roll it up, squeezing out any excess moisture.
Spread the seeds on a cookie sheet sprayed with a little bit of cooking spray (if desired).
Place in a 350 degree F oven until toasty.
Salt if desired.

This activity makes a great time filler or party game in October for Halloween or during an Egypt theme.
Have each child bring in a roll of toilet paper from home.
Pick teams of two children each.
Have one child be the wrapper and the other child be the mummy
You can keep time and have the teams shout when their toilet paper roll is empty or you can have them go to a designated spot to ring a bell. It doesn’t have to be competitive, however, to be fun.
For round two, have the mummy take a turn as the wrapper this time.
Once everyone is wrapped, be sure to take a group picture.

You can sponge paint a Jack-o-Lantern by using the sponge painting tips here.
You’ll need:
Orange Paint
Black Paint
Paper Plates
Sponges
Clothespins
Have the children first sponge paint a paper plate orange. This serves as the pumpkin base. Then use the black paint to sponge paint eyes, nose and mouth. Hang to dry.
For younger children, if you want to offer some guidance about where eyes and mouths go, you can draw a face with a Sharpie before painting begins or you can hang pictures of real Jack-o-Lanterns in the area where art is being done that day. Some children will never have seen one before, so an example can be nice, but you don’t want to provide so much guidance that it’s not a free activity or that it drains all the creativity out of their art.
