Kid Friendly Friday - Pumpkin Projects


Welcome to Kid Friendly Friday where we share ideas that other parents would find helpful. Recipes, crafts, lesson plans, giveaways, or anything else you have posted about that is kid friendly! Link you post to Mr. Linky below and then come back later to see what others have been up to. I always get plenty of good ideas. (thanks!!)


Yesterday was the first time I gave Little Bit a paintbrush WITH real paint (painting with water, which is a fun, low-mess activity is nice). She painted her paper plate for the base of the pumpkin. Then she colored the pieces of the face and stem. SO cute. HERE is where I got he idea and the templates (couldn't be easier). I have been to this site before but then forgot about it.
See, I really did give her paint....


Then I printed out THIS TEMPLATE for a pumpkin lacing activity. I have seen these lacing activities a lot but never thought much of them. Mimi LOVED it. It took 2 minutes for me to get ready for her. Definitely a keeper. They have plenty more to choose from (like this cutest little candy corn) Yay!

So what did you and the kids do this week?

  4. Love those pumpkin activities. We'll have to give them a try next week to celebrate Halloween.

    I linked up a post from last Friday (did you have one?), but I actually did a KFF, so I thought I would share!! :)

  5. how great! I am always looking for fun Halloween non-pumpkin carving activities :) My hubby is allergic to pumpkins... so no carving for us -- this will be perfect when we have little be-boppers :)
