After carving they can paint it and put flame less lantern it so that it will glow in dark.
2.Halloween Nature Hunt for exploring different parenting style- This Halloween is same like before, but we can do this differently to cheer up our kids and keep the festival spirit alive. For this you can take your kids on the nature walk and ask them to hunt for the treasure. Kids love the treasure hunt. They can collect maple leaf, pine cone or may be a stone. By this activity the will get outdoor walk which is good for their health and well being. Secondly, they will collect treasures. They can paint the leaf and stone with acrylic paint to make spooky monsters or haunted face on stone. We went on the nature walk the other day and my little ones collected maple leaves and arrange them in order to make fan :).They had so much fun in their treasure hunt.
3.Pine felt Owls for creative parenting -This is really fun activity, my kids loved it. For this you need few things only Pine cone which you collected from nature walk, felt, kids friendly scissors, googly eyes and glue gun. Steps for it Cut felt in wings shape (like leaf), you need 2 wings. For head cut felt in oval shape. One triangle for nose.Just glue on the pine cone and add google eyes for owl's eyes on the oval shape felt.
4. Felt Monsters for arty parents- Kids can pick any color felt and draw their monsters on it by by using pencil or marker. After that either you can cut that out or they can cut out the monsters themselves by using kids friendly scissors. They can put googly eyes and add feathers on the monsters or can add leaves to make it more spooky. Research says that having fun with kids plays important role in responsive and successful parenting.
5. Creative Halloween wreath for artistic parents- While you go on walk for Treasure hunt with your kids, ask them to collect shaded branches for Wreath. I am sure they will really enjoy this activity. I asked my kids to collect shaded branches and make a circular bundle of that. But make sure they are wearing safety gloves or you can do that for them. So once we made the circular frame we tied it with craft rope and secured it with knot. Now they can paint it with acrylic paints of their choice and decorate it with leaves or with feathers. These are few activities for positive parenting on this Halloween.
