Halloween is right around the corner.  Time to break out the themed activities!  I love using themes to encourage learning with my little ones – and if it’s a little spooky, well that’s part of the fun!

I wrote a fun post for Hands on as we Grow this week.  We used Q-tips as skeleton bones to practice forming letters.  Did you know that all of the letters of the alphabet could be created with 3 Q-tip shapes?  Curved, straight, and half length.  It’s really neat, and just the right level of creepy for this time of year.

Check it out over at Hands on as we Grow: Halloween Alphabet with Skeleton Bones and tell me what you think!

And please be sure to follow along with us on Facebook – thank you friends!
