Turn your pumpkin into a bubbling science experiment.
Just add baking soda inside your carved pumpkin, then use a dropper to add vinegar and watch the fizzy volcano erupt! Great for spooky fun and fine motor skills.

🎃Halloween should be a time for fun and adventure for ALL.

👫For some children, the ideas of trick or treating around the neighborhood brings on anxiety and fear.

👻Instead of taking the fun out of Halloween, set everyone up for success and create your own little trick or treat scavenger hunt in your home.

🍬Each clue can lead your child to a different Halloween prize or piece of candy.

Looking for a simple Halloween craft that also boosts fine motor skills? 🧠👻
Try making a paper plate mummy! Punch holes around the rim of a paper plate, draw a spooky face, then let your child lace white string or ribbon through the holes. It’s festive, fun, and great for little hands! Plus, it can be a great Halloween decoration!🎃🧵

Trick-or-treat ready? 🕸️🎒
Make Halloween night smoother by choosing a candy bag that’s easy for your child to carry, like a small backpack! It keeps little hands free, distributes weight evenly, and can even hook onto a stroller or wagon when needed. A simple switch that helps your child stay independent (and keeps the fun going longer)!

Fall fun meets movement magic! 🎃🍂
Grab some small pumpkins or gourds and create your own backyard balance challenge. Try walking a “spooky” path with a pumpkin on your shoulder or hold one out in front as you skip down the driveway. Turn it into a relay race for even more laughs! This playful activity is more than just silly fun, it helps build coordination and gross motor skills too!

Snack-time just got a whole lot more fun!
After school or in the lunchbox, DIY trail mix is an easy, kid-approved way to fuel up. Set out a mix of options: dried fruit, granola, nuts, seeds, even bits of jerky and let your child be the chef. They can even name their custom blend (Crunchy Power Mix, anyone?) Make a big batch early in the week and enjoy snack time made simple all week long!
