Magical Halloween Cutting Story


We have done this story for two years now and it is magical! It is a story about a witch and a mouse finding a home in the cold. You cut along with the story and reveal the surprise at the end! Practice this one first before sharing it and have two pieces of paper because they may want you to "do it again!" Here is the link to the story.
Have Fun! Happy Halloween! If are are interested in learning some really cute Halloween songs to sing with your children, I highly recommend Wee sing for Halloween! I learned these songs and we now sing them every year!

Pumpkins

Last year, when my son was in Kindy, we had a little fall festival/get together with other Waldorf home schoolers and decorated Pumpkins and Gourds with natural materials! They turned out great! Each family collected natural materials during their nature walks and rummaged through their cupboard for the decorative items. We had thins like, dried goji berries, almonds, leaves, twigs, bark, pine needles, dried flowers, acorn caps, even seaweed! The glue was a little drippy but dried clear! :)
