Halloween pumpkin play dough

 

It may be a little early but I've always been a fan of Halloween and get right in to the spirit of the decoration, dress up and trick or treating. Last year we had a Halloween theme play date and I'll do the same this year for dimples and his friends but for now it's all about psyching him up and building the excitement up with some Halloween craft and play.

First up, some orange play dough, some twigs with leaves on them and a black texter. Easy right. We had fun making these cute jack o lantern heads out of our play dough and they looked so cute.

Starting with some rolling dimples made balls, circular motions on the table and in his hands. Perfect!
Then using a stick he imprinted the sections through the pumpkins.

I made one first as he played and he imitated me straight away making the cutest pumpkin by him self.
Dimples was very pleased as he added in the pumpkin stems, asking me how they grow which started a great discussion. We then talked about the spooky jack I lantern face as I drew one on, then it was his turn.
They turned out so cool that we had to roll it all together and make one huge pumpkin head!

Stained Glass Mothersday Book Marks

Dimples enjoyed making these cute stained glass Mothers day Bookmarks for his Nanna's.



What you will need
Materials: Crayon shavings, Cellophane, Laminate sheet, An Iron, Pipe cleaners or Ribbon and some beads.













I cut a piece of laminate paper into thin strips & put the materials out for Dimples then let him choose his colours and much much or how little he wanted to put in each one.








Using crayon shavings and cellophane for the Stain glass design Dimples sprinkled his materials into the open laminate paper and then closed it Ready for me to Iron







I then went over it with an Iron & a sheet of paper towelling making sure the sides of the laminate stuck closed and then heat melted the Crayon shavings.






Once then were stuck together and cooled Dimples punched a hole through the top and threaded a pipe cleaner on (i tied it off & twisted it tight) then he added some more colour with some foam beads.




 Voila. Easy Peasy Stained glass bookmarks.
