Halloween Slime

What’s Halloween without a little slime? To create your own slime, you’ll need a ½ cup of washable school glue, 4 tbsp of liquid starch, and 1 tsp of washable liquid watercolor. Simply shake the liquid starch and pour it into a tub before adding the glue. Mix until they are blended. Add the watercolor of your choice and mix again. You can even get some googly eyes for a creepy effect! That’s it –the gooey slime will keep your kids entertained for hours!

Poke a Pumpkin

Poke a Pumpkin is one of the most engaging Halloween activities for kids. To create this mystery prize game, take a few plastic cups and fill them with trinkets. Wrap them with orange tissue paper and then glue them to a poster board in the shape of a pumpkin. Then line up the children to poke a hole in the tissue pumpkins to see what’s inside and whether they win a trick or a treat!
