Candy Experiments

I've been wanting to do candy experiments with the girls since last year. And, lucky enough, we got TONS of candy this Halloween, so I got to work making some printable experiments. I found all of these experiments and pictures from HERE (I like how they included nutritional info, too). I wanted to be able to print them and have an observation sheet, so I made these. You'll want to print an observation sheet for each experiment you decide to do. Have fun!

Candy Experiments

P.S. There was a cute border around the words but I can't get it to load. You'll just have to imagine it.

AND here's some other fun candy activities from TeachMama.

2010 Family Halloween Dinner

We celebrated Halloween with our traditional holiday dinner. This year we themed it around monsters. The girls helped me make the decorations and everyone helped with the food. The most fun was monster mashing in our monster feet.

Favorite things: 

The Watermelon Monster

Monster Sandwiches eating the carrots

Eyeballs in our soup

Our pom pom monster garland

Great dance moves!

Witches Britches

I finished the girls "Witches Britches" (aka bloomers, pajama pants, Hammer pants made with Halloween fabric) just in time for their witch party tomorrow. Luckily, my mom taught me how to make cotton shorts back in the early 90's because I made these without a pattern. I also didn't hem them because I was going for a rough "witchy" look. At the last minute I decided to sew on ribbons so we could tie plastic spiders onto them. Pretty spooky!

Franken-dough

Here is the one an only Halloween item I have made this year.

They are little Franken-(play)doughs for the girls at dance.

A canister of playdough

2 googly eyes
