Snack: F is for Fish

F is for Fish

O is for Ocean

S is for Sea

etc.....

We were in charge of snack this week.  They were doing S if for Sea.  I knew I wanted to do something with the gold fish since that is always what I have on hand.  I got the idea from one of my "teacher books" from Scholastic "26 Easy & Adorable Alphabet Recipes for Snacktime".

MATERIALS NEEDED:

Celery

Gold Fish Crackers

Cream Cheese

Blue Food Coloring

Just soften the cream cheese.  Add blue.  Generously apply it to the cleaned and cut celery sticks.  Add the fish!  Super cute and easy!

I sent extra Goldfish in little baggies so the kids could use them to scrap out the cream cheese.

So fun!

Halloween Balloon Spiders

Halloween Balloon Spiders Tutorial

These spiders are fun to use for a Halloween party!  You can use them to decorate or to play games!  I've put rolled up pieces of paper inside the balloons with the names of Halloween games. The kids would "pop the spider" with a tack and the rolled up paper would say the name of a Halloween game and we would play that game next.  The kids LOVE popping the spiders!

** When I was a Primary Chorister for my ward, I would put the names of the primary songs we wanted to practice inside the balloons.  The kids would come up and pop the spider and we would sing the song written on the paper inside the balloon.  **

Materials Needed:

Black Balloons

Large Pom Poms

Pipe Cleaners

Hot Glue Gun

Wiggle Eyes OR Reinforcement Labels {for the eyes}

Above is what you need to make ONE balloon spider:

1 Balloon

1 Large Pom Pom

1 Set of wiggle eyes OR reinforcement labels

4 pipe cleaners

 Step 1: Hot glue the wiggle eyes to the large pom pom

Step 2: Blow up the balloon.  Make this however big you want your spiders "abdomen" to be.

 Step 3: Twist the pipe cleaners around tie of the balloon

 Twist it around the middle of the pipe cleaner so the "legs" are equal length on both sides

 Bend the legs at the end of the pipe cleaners

 Step 4: Put a blob of hot glue on the pipe cleaners that are wrapped around the tie of the balloon.  Glue your "head" {the pom pom} to the pipe cleaners

 ALL DONE!

Super easy and festive!

 I like to hang mine up in the spider webs!

 Here is a pic of a spider made with the reinforcement labels instead of the wiggle eyes.
