It's October now which means I can officially start feeling in the Halloween/Fall mood!
Halloween in Korea was so fun! The school was completely into Halloween and I had lots of resources (i.e. unlimited construction paper and a printer, not really unlimited to American standards) at my finger tips! Our school even held a classroom decoration contest and I won! I love decorating and found it so relaxing sitting in front of a chick flick cutting out spiders at night. :)
I love Halloween. I don't really get into the "scary" stuff but love the holiday for all the fun stuff! Like googly eyed crafts, carving pumpkins, dressing up and of course, trick or treating.
Hope you can take some 'DIY with paper' ideas from my old classroom for you classroom, home or to do with your kids.
The back wall was a giant bulletin board, perfect for creating a panoramic Halloween scene.
At the front of the classroom, I made giant spiders with the kids' faces as the spiders' heads. The kids loved them and couldn't wait to take them home after Halloween. For the body and legs, I just drew an outline and traced and cut each section of the spider.
For the color on the spiders' back, I made a zigzag with a glue stick and then applied glitter.
I would love to do this with our family pics one day, climbing up the wall or the stairs or something.
