Pumpkin Play

We had fun this week with the Pumpkin’s, heres a little gallery of our activities.

Using Pumpkin’s In Play

We went to Teds Farm Pumpkin Patch to choose some Big ones to carve out.

Halloween Fun

Everyone had fun for Halloween this year, Emma and her family looked amazing. They were very scary and got up to lots of mischief.

Poppy chose not to be scary but join in by wearing her favourite Anime costume. Her jacket stands out on a dark night, which keeps her safe when out and about trick or treating.

Alfie from the seedlings was such a cute bat. He even tried to sleep upside down on the soft play!

Pumpkin Carving

The Rangers all helped each other to carve the pumpkins. They were very careful while using the vegetable knives. I am so glad they carved them outside, the mess was phenomenal!

Hunt the spiders

The Rangers and Wanderers enjoyed the carving and apple bobbing the best. The Seedlings enjoyed the hunting for buried spiders, Tracie put a few treats in the sand for them to find for a surprise.

Pumpkin Printing

Following our lovely activity with leaf printing we decided it would be good to use the baby pumpkins, that Georgia kindly brought in, to make pictures.

Tracie set the activity up and the children loved it so much they wanted to print on other materials. When we had finished, Leo asked if we could make other pumpkin pictures. Emma helped the children make a display for our wall.

Spooky Goings On

We had lots of fun at a Halloween party for the ‘Jazz It Up’ fundraising event. We started the day getting our outfits ready, painting our faces and body parts with blood and guts!

We began with six lovely children and ended up with a fearsome cat, a scary clown, a bloody school girl, a spider boy, a spider girl and a wolf!

The children decorated Tracie up as a moody pumpkin and made her go and sit in the pumpkin patch for a photo!

We had fun joining in with spooky games, dance competitions, find the spider, balloon popping and enjoyed eating fingers in rolls with sticky blood!

We enjoyed ourselves so much we decided to have another spooky day. We made pumpkin prints, played spooky snap and had afternoon tea, with wiggly worms, creepy eyeballs, long fingers, pumpkin soup, and spider cakes. Yuck!
