This mom read a fun story to the kids where they cut paper to make a house as she read. Then when the story was finished, they opened their houses to discover they cut a jack o' lantern too.
Since Kayla has celiac, the room mother asked me to be over the cookie decorating. I just made Kayla her own cookies and saved some frosting before the other kids put their gluten covered knives in the containers. All the kids loved piling their cookies with as much candy as they could hold. Then they would slowly eat the candy off the top until they made themselves sick. What fun.
They got to play with goo that the room mother made for each child. It is kind of like play dough by gooier. Also another mom wrapped them up like mummies with toilet paper.
Finally they got to color some fun Halloween pages. There were even enough packets for the preschoolers. (Sadly I think this is mostly due to the number of kids home sick that day.)
It was lots of fun, but I still think it's sad they don't let the kids dress up at school. I have very fond memories of doing that. I know there aren't very many schools that are willing to go to the effort anymore, unfortunately. Oh well, I guess the kids don't know any different.
