Tomorrow is Halloween.  What a great time for outdoor play! Try these outdoor Halloween activities with your family.

1.  Draw faces on pumpkins with paints or markers (use dry erase markers and draw faces over and over again).

2.  Practice woodworking by hammering nails or golf tees into a pumpkin.

3.  Deck out the children’s outdoor play area with spider webs, pumpkins, and other festive decorations.

5.  Put pumpkin seeds or pumpkins guts in the outdoor sensory table or sand and water table.

6.  Dress up and have a parade around the preschool playground.

7.  See how far you can stretch out the pretend spider webbing.

We hope you have a safe and happy Halloween!

We strive to create fun and informative content that will help young children learn and grow. However, it's important to keep in mind that all activities should be performed under the supervision of an adult. The Adventurous Child website is intended to serve as a reference and guidance for educational activities, and it is ultimately the responsibility of the parent, guardian, and/or educator to determine the appropriateness of the activity for their child’s age and maturity level.
