Fun Halloween Activities For Preschoolers

Fine Motor Fun with Spiders

You can find information for creating the fine motor spider activity on the blog.

Mini-Pumpkins

Materials: one mini pumpkin per child, liquid glue, glitter, Sharpie marker, Q-Tips.
Use the Sharpie marker to draw the outline of a Jack ‘O Lantern face on each mini-pumpkin. Have the students dip their Q-Tips in the liquid glue and fill in the outline with a thin layer of glue. Next, shake glitter over the glue and let dry. These Jack ‘O Lanterns look Spooktacular when finished!

Paper Plate Jack O’ Lantern

Materials: orange tissue paper cut into squares, black construction paper, liquid glue, liquid starch, small paper plates, paint brushes.
Use the paint brush to brush a thin layer of liquid glue over the paper plate. Next, have the students lay tissue paper squares all over their plate. Cut black triangles for eyes and nose and mouth shapes, have students glue on the eyes, nose, and mouth. When the paper is dry brush a thin layer of liquid starch over the top of the plate to create a “glazed” look.

Trick or Treat Lift-the-Flap

Materials: construction paper, scissors, crayons, Sharpie marker
Take one large sheet of construction paper and fold it hot dog style. Next, open it and lay it flat on the table and make three cuts from the bottom to the folded line, make sure your cuts are equally spaced. Close the paper back to hot dog style and you have created 4 flaps. On the top of each flap write the words “Trick or Treat”. Next, have the students use their crayons to illustrate who is Trick or Treating behind each “door”.

About the film

The cartoon tells about the realm of Halloween, the realm of fears and nightmares, where the dead, freaks, monsters live, led by the king of horrors Jack Skelington. Just before Christmas, Jack accidentally finds himself in the city of Christmas, where he learns that somewhere there is joy, goodness and fun. He really wanted to experience this feeling – to give people happiness – and he kidnapped Santa Claus and took his place. The results were, however, the most deplorable, and no one, to put it mildly, liked his gifts. But he understood everything and corrected his mistake.
