Last-Minute Non-Candy Halloween Treats

Pumpkin Fine Motor Activity
If you’re stuck in a bit of a fine motor rut, this activity will shake things up a bit. These cute yarn pumpkins are super easy to make, meaning every child can feel successful with this craft.

It helps to…

When it comes to decorating pumpkins in the classroom – or really at any event with children – these are the supplies I turn to. All links are affiliates.
