What a busy and spooooooky week we had to celebrate Halloween! Many of the children came into nursery dressed up or enjoyed dressing up in our witches hats and ghoul outfits.

We have been making magical potions using messy materials and also gathering natural items outside to add to our cauldrons.  We loved eating green slime jelly for snack and ghost bananas!  Some of us had great fun making spooky biscuits and exploring lots and lots of tactile and sensory messy materials for different activities.

Here is a wee look at some of the scary, fun, gooey, eewy, sticky, colourful activities we enjoyed….

We were dunking for some juicy delicious apples….

We had lots of fun making ghost balloons and different witches  potions with spaghetti, jelly, pumpkins, coloured water and autumn materials including soil, leaves and pine cones! We even used vinegar and bicarbonate of soda to make EXPLODING pumpkins!

Lots of sand and water play, scary halloween and pumpkin number hunting in the garden, spooky stories, sticky baking and woodwork pumpkin experimenting…..

We enjoyed making scary music using dried foods to make musical shakers and counting and stacking pumpkins.
