Non-Scary Halloween Activities
|
|
|
|
This week is Halloween and many preschoolers will head out for a spot of trick or treating with their parents. While this very American tradition is growing in popularity in Australia, for many preschoolers typical Halloween motifs are pretty scary.
Witches, bats, goblins, and ghosts are the stuff of nightmares for some children and it's important to bear this in mind when planning any Halloween-themed activities or projects. To take the scare factor out of Halloween this year, we thought it might be fun to share a few non-spooky craft ideas.
As always, these suggestions are simple, cost effective and can be scaled up or down to best meet the needs of the children in your service.
