I think that these paint chip puzzles might be the cheapest Halloween activity I’ve ever created for my kids? I guess they must be since they pretty much cost me nothing to make! I love Halloween crafting with my kids but at the rate they go through things the cost of doing activities can add up very quickly so it’s nice to throw in something thrifty sometimes! Today I’m sharing how to make these super simple paint chip puzzles as well as some of my favourite Halloween activities for toddlers to help keep the little people in your life busy this October.
Win Tickets to Ghosthunters Halloween Icy Trail
With Halloween getting closer my kids are now reaching peak levels of spooky excitement, every day I get asked how many days are left until Halloween! If your kids are excited about Halloween, or even if you’re just looking for another fun idea to fill the half term holiday then you will love the giveaway I’m sharing today as I have a family ticket to the Ghosthunters Halloween Icy Trail at The National Trust property Ham House in Richmond.
Paw Patrol Sensory Tub
Paw Patrol. I think it’s got to be the most popular programme for kids at the moment, my two and all their friends are obsessed. But have you seen the price of the toys? Ouch! We love easy activities for toddlers and this simple idea means you can make the most of the cheaper toys without having to spend out on all the big pricey extras. Is it still a big thing to play with? Heck yes, but this Paw Patrol sensory tub will cost you pennies and even better if they tire of it you can happily throw it away guilt free, saving a bit of room in your toybox too!
20 Free Coloring Pages for Adults
A little while ago I shared some of my favourite free animal coloring pages for adults. They were so popular that I thought I’d share another round up of the best free colouring pages for adults that I could find for you!
No theme this time, unless you count gorgeousness as a theme (which I think maybe I do?!) these are just colouring designs which I thought looked like fun and which I thought you might like too!
Halloween Resist Art for Kids
We are still on the daily countdown to Halloween round ours so yesterday I thought I’d try out something new with the kids and give some resist art a go! These fingerprint Halloween pictures turned out a lot spookier than I originally expected but both my four and two year old adored making them, plus the technique we came up with for creating the pictures helps improve muscle strength in fingers making it great for kids who are learning to write. Also, that bit gave me an excuse for skipping homework last night, sorry teachers, we had some Halloween resist art to make and it couldn’t possibly wait!
