Halloween is in just a few days and I don’t know about you, but I am SUPER excited! My house is all decked out in spooky decorations and I can’t wait to pass out candy to costume adorned children on Saturday. We got our first dose of Halloween fun when Lil Man and I went trick-or-treating with my husband’s family yesterday! Halloween is such a fun time of year and there are so many great ways that your family can enjoy spending time together.
You could do some DIY Spooky Science Experiments together as a family. I’ve included a printable below with complete directions on how to do each of the following fun experiments for Halloween:
- Glow-in-the-dark Mad Scientist Jars
- Creepy Slime
- Bubbling Potion
- Ghost Writing
- The Ghostly Glove

Those sound like neat experiments that my grandsons would enjoy! How fun!
Fun, my kids love when we get dry ice, we put it in the sink and as it bubbles and smokes they love it.
Empowering children to make great choices serves them well the whole rest of their lives. 🙂 How can you not be a huge proponent? 🙂
My girls are still too young for doing these but I am so looking forward to doing them as they get older.
The Kiddie Academy sounds like a fabulous resource! I love using holidays as a launchpad for creative teaching! Such a fun and rewarding way to spend time with our kids!
This is so fun. My kids love to do experiments and there are some great ones here!
