It’s almost Halloween! This week has lots of fun activities to get your kids in the Halloween spirit. We will be discussing many of the different types of characters that are displayed during Halloween such as mummies, skeletons, witches, spiders, etc. This should be lots of fun!
NOTE: Some of the activity links go straight to a pin on Pinterest instead of a blog page. Read the description of the pin for the activity instructions. If you are new here, make sure to check out the Themed Curriculum page for more details about how to use this curriculum. Looking for a different theme? Check out all of our themes here.
