Some Halloween fun--Preschool catch up

Ever since Gracin was in the hospital about 1 month ago, we have slacked on preschool. Everyone had multiple Dr appointments, ear tubes, etc etc etc. So I have been doing preschool only a few times a week and not really documenting it. We did a lady bug week, with fun math activity and made a pretty ladybug necklace. Last week we did "Dinosaur Train". We made a volcano, started a "collection" like Don, and hatched sponge dino eggs.



She is so good with fine motor skills.
Roll the dice, count that many spots, glue them on the lady bug. Do it again for all three bugs. Then draw cute faces on them.



Today we did a couple things for Halloween. We did a "creepy" sensory activity. I had toy bugs and frogs mixed with pinto beans. Gracin had so much fun with this activity. Beans were all over, I tried to teach him to not throw them but... yeah you get the picture. We played with the bean for almost 1 hr. And Gracin had to be put in his crib so I could clean up the mess, he would undo every thing I put away.





We also made this fun foam paint shaving cream and glue. Mixed it together and finger painted a ghost. Gracin thought it was food of course, so I gave him mini marshmallows instead:) Rhylan loved the sticky texture and even helped me clean up the big mess.Everybody stir!!

How do you come up with such fun ideas?! I'm always looking for activities to do with Jefferson, but just can't seem to come up with such fun stuff.
