Halloween is Coming Soon!

Wall decorations that I drew for my kids to cut.
This is a great activity to practice fine motor skills.

I remember my teachers decorating the classroom every time a holiday is coming up. I remember how we all felt, ooooo, ahhhh, wowww, cool!

Those are the exact same feelings/moments that I want to duplicate for my kids. I told myself that any child I work for I will do whatever it takes to give them what I had back then. Those moments, the memories, the curiosity shapes us as individuals and I want them to know that Halloween is coming up, Christmas is coming, their birthdays, valentines day and so on. I remember always looking at the calendar for any holiday because I know we will be doing something special that's not in the curriculum.

Halloween goodies for a special girl
After having the parents permission, I went crazy at our local dollar store. I bought different types of wings (ladybug, bee, angel, witch) for role playing, dress up and of course her choice of costume. I also bought a lot of decorations for the walls, windows, doors and tables. Let's not forget our Halloween activities and special Halloween stickers!

All came up to $25, what a deal!

I LOVE THE DOLLAR STORE!

Till next time,
