Harry the Dirty Dog

 This was one of my favorite books when I was little and I was excited to share it with the kids.  I got some great ideas from the Crafty Crow.  After reading the story we had a dog wash.

 Then I let the kids color their own Harry.  The idea was to keep one Harry clean and the other dirty, as you can see not everyone got the memo:)

 Then we talked about where we'd go if we were a dog and wanted to get dirty.

 Then I made doggy treats aka bread sticks for the kids.

 They got to paint their treats with butter and then choose to decorate it with parmesan or cinnamon & sugar.

 Cinnamon and sugar was by for the favorite.

Not Scared of Anything!

To round out our Halloween themed month we read:

 Such a fun book!  And we made adorable crows and scarecrows to go with it.

Room on the Broom

 For this fun story we made a super fun witch, with movable parts.

 And then for snacks we made the witch a special broom:

Monsters

"Go Away Big Green Monster" was another fun day.  We made our very own monsters to make disappear:

 We had silly smiles for a snack:

Then we learned a new song Go Away! that the kids loved singing.

Vampires and other spooky creatures

 "Big Pumpkin" was a day full of spooky creatures.  The children made toilet paper roll vampires:

 Their own real mummy:

 And some spooky ghosts:

Bats

  In October we've been following a fun Halloween theme.  Children love Halloween so why not celebrate it all month long?  We started the month with "Stellaluna" and made wonderful brown bat puppets. 

Dinosaurs

Another fun day during September was:

We watercolored a Raptor going to bed.  Colored a picture of a Brontosaurus.  Played with miniature dinosaurs.
