Please bring your cute little dudes in their Halloween duds! I so want to see them in their dress ups! This will be my last Halloween with them before I retire November 17!
Halloween is a great time to teach babies a lot of new sounds, BOO and WHOOOO, and ROAAR, and all about pumpkins and owls and black cats.
Books:
Peek-A-Boo by Marie Torres Cimarusti
Owl Babies by Martin Waddell. I used 3 little beanie baby owls and a big owl puppet and shortened the text.
The first one said, "Oh, my it's getting late"
The second one said, "There are witches in the air."
The third one said, "But we don't care."
The fourth one said, "Let's run, let's run!"
The fifth one said, "Isn't Halloween fun?"
Then Woooooo went the wind
And OUT went the lights.
And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
I like to do this as a puppet show with 5 pumpkins, tipping them off the stage at the end.
Plays
Makes a great play. Props: jack o'lantern, candle, cookie jar, spider, broom, witch's hat, and a black cat. Search for Boo all over the room. Where is Baby's Pumpkin? by Karen Katz is also good.Make a face on a pumpkin with black triangles for eyes and nose and a mouth. Start with: SCARY FACE, then SAD FACE, SURPRISED FACE, and then GLAD FACE!
