I LOVED all the fun ideas shared this week on the Discover & Explore Halloween linky — more than 100 crafts & activities!  It was really hard to choose just a few to highlight but as I was reviewing the fun activities, I realized that there are many kids who enjoy the not-so-spooky parts of Halloween (my youngest is one of those). 

 

Truth be told, she hates the scary part of Halloween.  When we go on our evening walks, she closes her eyes as we pass our neighbor’s haunted decroations.  She won’t step foot into any type of Halloween or party store during this month.  And she even has a hard time seeing some of her friends creepy costumes.

I just chalk it up to a great imagination and try to avoid anything that will give her nightmares — like most of the other fears that children develop when they are young, she’ll grow out of it soon.  But until then, we like to find fun activities and some “not very scary” crafts to do together.

So this week, I’m featuring —
