Tot School: Halloween edition

Jackson is 16 months old.

This week in Tot School we focused on Halloween!

We read I See a Monster (A touch & feel book), Clifford's First Halloween, Ten Little Mummies, and Where is Baby's Pumpkin?

We played with our monster puppet

(a great find from the dollar section at Target).


We made a handprint spider.
(I've seen these all over the place and all I can say is
black paint & toddlers do not mix! I don't care how "washable" the stuff is!)

We made footprint ghosts (much easier and less messy than the spiders!)

We sang "If you're a ghost and you know it": (found here)
(to the tune of "If you're happy and you know it")

If you're a ghost and you know it,
Then say "Boo!"
If you're a ghost and you know it,
Then say "Boo!
If you're a ghost and you know it,
and you really want to show it
If you're a ghost and you know it,
say Boo!

Additional verses:
If you're a cat and you know it, then say "Meow"
If you're a bat and you know it, then flap your wings
If you're a skeleton and you know it, then shake your bones
