I signed up to do a Fall Festival swap with a family this year. We bought fall goodies for each other's children and sent them off. It was so fun gathering things for her boys and we were surprised to see what her family had sent us. One of the things she sent us was a Ziploc bag filled with foam pieces to make jack-o-lanterns. She said the foam would stick to the tiles and bathtub (and we also found out they stuck to the girls!) when wet. We have never done anything like this before and we were excited to try it out. She even suggested dying some shaving cream orange and letting the girls paint with it to add to the fun. We've done shaving cream in the past and they enjoyed it, but have never dyed it. What resulted was a TON of fun! The girls loved making different faces on the pumpkins, the wall, the bathtub and even their own bellies!! The pieces float so it makes them easy to find in the bathtub--a little harder if you have bubbles! These are very simple and inexpensive to make and I already have ideas to do this for Thanksgiving and Christmas! Foam Jack-o-Lanterns sent to me by: Rebekah Survance Supplies needed: Orange foam sheets, 8 1/2 x 11 (one for each pumpkin); black and yellow foam sheets for the faces What to do:
*Your jack-o-lanterns will stay put on the wall for at least a day if not bothered. They will eventually fall off. Make sure to gather your pieces so they don't go down the drain! **All photos and text are property of Angela Pounders and can not be distributed without permission.

We aren't into the spooky and gory stuff of Halloween, but I think it's a perfect time to learn about things that are deemed scary around Halloween like skeletons and bats. Your children will probably see decorations of them around and what a better time to learn more about them and that they are in fact not scary at all! This is also a great time to use the illustration of the jack-o-lantern to learn about God's love for us and how to shine God's light! Of course, we read and watched some of our favorites who are celebrating Halloween like Biscuit and Franklin. Below is a list of the books and videos that we've been reading and watching to celebrate the season!
