Create A Halloween Countdown

Happy October! It's time to create a fun Halloween countdown for your family to enjoy. Take some twigs or a branch from a tree. Put them in a vase or container of your choice. Gather some Halloween looking decorations or make some out of paper or fabric. What matters is that you get creative!

Buy a variety of treats, and little projects for your children to make such as Halloween necklaces. I found easy to make pumpkin necklaces at JoAnns fabric store for a dollar a piece! Very reasonable!

Punch holes in the items and hang them on the branches. I used some festive looking yarn. You can make little paper or fabric pockets to hang on your tree. Then fill them with goodies.

Each day your child can pick a treat to countdown the days until Halloween. If you like, put numbers on your pockets (I made my pockets out of envelopes and just punched holes in some of the candy to hang on the tree.) You could tie cute pencils, pens, erasers,whatever you like to create your Halloween tree.

Holidays are for families so why not take advantage to celebrate the whole fun month of October with your children!
