One of our favorite fall "spooky" crafts to make is a paper plate spider. It's easy to make and it give children lots of fine motor practice.
You will need to have: paper plates (we used small chinet) black crepe paper black cardstock or construction paper glue wiggle eyes sequins scissors
We started by cutting the black crepe paper in to small pieces and the we glued them on to the paper plate.
The next step was to glue on the wiggle eyes and sequins. While the spider was drying we began making the spider legs.
We cut black construction paper in to small strips and folded them back and forth in accordion style. We then glued the legs on to the bottom of the paper plates (four on each side).

We love working with pumpkins seeds ... there are so many things your can do with them!! I set this activity up in our math center using two pumpkin bowls that I purchased from Target. You can use any kind of bowl or container that works for you. I put the pumpkin seeds in one of the bowls and set out a pair of jumbo tweezers along with dice.
The children rolled the dice and then used the tweezers to transfer the same number of pumpkin seeds into the empty bowl. They continued to roll the dice until all of the pumpkins seeds had been transferred. This activity can also be done without the tweezers and/or the dice.

I recently attended a make and take session and one of the things we made was pumpkin spice paint. It is super easy to make but I felt the recipe we used was a bit too runny so I modified it a little.
To make the paint I put three packets of unflavored gelatine into a jar along with 1 cup of boiling water and mixed the two together until the gelatine was dissolved. I added yellow and red food coloring and stirred until I had an orange color I was happy with.
The last step was to add the pumpkin pie spice into the paint. I just continued to shake some in until I got the scent that I wanted. Everyone loved how the paint smelled and were very excited to paint with it.
I let the paint cool down which also helped to thicken it. The children then painted large circles on cardstock paper. When they painted they could see the specks of pumpkin spice. We let that paint dry and cut out the circle and glue it on to a sheet of colored cardstock paper. The children cut out a leaf and stem and glue that on the pumpkin. They then glue pumpkin seeds on for extra fine motor work.

The free membership printable this week is scarecrow number sequence puzzles for number recognition and review. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... laminated them and then cut along the lines so there were ten puzzles strips for each puzzle.
I mixed the puzzle strips up and set them out. Children had to sort through the strips and put them in numerical order to complete the puzzles. There are numbers 1-10 ... 11-20 and 21-30 puzzle sets.
You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday November 1st ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added pumpkin letter tracing sheets.
