Jack-O-Lantern fun ☆ Kindy 2

We love getting our hands messy and being creative with crafts in Kindy 2! October was of course, the perfect opportunity for this! One of our Halloween crafts this October, was a spider web. 

The children started their crafts drawing the outer layer of their spider webs, using wax crayons. Then they painted over their drawing.

The next step was carefully threading string through the holes on their crafts, making sure not to go through the same hole twice, coordinating each side so that they didn't loop over the edge, and going in diagonal directions to make their webs. This was a little tricky, but everyone got it right in the end. 

To finish off their Creepy Crawly crafts, the children each got to make a spider. They carefully tore tissue paper into small pieces and glued it onto a spider shape lamination sheet. They they added stickers for eyes, and pipe cleaners for the spiders legs.

The children's favorite activity for October was definitely the pumpkin carving! We decided together as a class, that we would carve Kuromi's face on our pumpkin. First we drew the outline, and then we began carving. Once we had cut the top off of the pumpkin, each of the children had a turn to reach into the middle and scoop out some of the insides of the pumpkin! Most children couldn't wait to get their hands messy and said "it's so cold and squishy and slippery!"

After scooping out the insides of the pumpkin, the children sat and watched excitedly with much anticipation, as we carved out the face. We all loved the end result!
