Halloween is just around the corner and it’s one of my favourite time of year, because I know Autumn is in full swing! My previous Halloween posts in the past have been about Pumpkins, but this year I thought I’d go on a search for some different, but fun Halloween activities you can do with your children, and here is what I found:
1. Okay, so this one is Pumpkin related BUT with a twist… it’s making a Pumpkin bird feeder! These can be made from all natural materials and they will surely put you in the good books of the local wildlife. Here is how you can make one:

2. Spiderweb Art
Combing both threading and printing, this activity will definitely be a hit with children. Using homemade stampers, children can make their own sparkly spiderweb designs. Here is how:
3. Make a Broomstick
Bring out your inner wizard or witch and use twigs and branches to make a broomstick! This could be a mini one, or if you have the resources, why not go full out and make one that can be used to whizz around on!

5. Stir up a Woodland Potion
I loved making potions when I was little, in the bath or using mud especially. Why not go on a scavenger hunt with your little people to see what they can find for their own potions!
