An Ooey Gooey Halloween

Hi everybody!!! This week's preschool was a Halloween party, so everyone dressed-up. Before preschool started the children played boardgames. The day before preschool a student, Katelyn, had a birthday!!!

Our letter this week was H, so everything in our bag began with H.

We also had a special guest during Circle Time, a hamster. Everyone loved him!!!

The first activity we did was playing with ooey gooey slime. The children really enjoyed this!

Then we made spaghetti pictures. The pictures turned out really cute, though some of the children's pictures were half eaten.

By the time everyone finished their pictures we were all hungry, so we made a "snack." We put in some spooky ingredients like a cat's brain (oatmeal), the finger of a swamp monster (pickle), pumpkin blood (apricot ? and vinegar), and a witch's magic powder (baking soda). When we poured in the magic powder, it bubbled up. But sadly, no one wanted to eat our snack...

So we ate Halloween jigglers with popcorn instead.

After a bit of playtime, we shaved some Frankensteins. We squirted whipped cream on the pictures of Frankenstein and shaved it off with our tongues.

Then we made milk jug luminaries. The children cut out faces for their jugs and glued it on. Then we used Christmas tree lights to light them up.

To end another great day of preschool we played the Eyeball Bounce. The children took balls (colored to look like eyes) and threw them into some cups with prizes in them. They got to keep whatever was inside the cup. After getting our prizes, we ate popcorn and cupcakes brought by some of the children's mothers (Thank you). We had a fun week of preschool!
