Halloween Crafts with Kids
Halloween is a big deal in our house. We’ve already been out to the fun (if extortionate) pumpkin fields in Leeds again this year, so the kids are well set with giant pumpkins. They’ve been busy planning their designs, which are worryingly elaborate so we’ll have to see how they pan out… I think Halloween is so exciting for them because of all the build up, the otherworldly atmosphere of it, the darkness, the trick or treating, the pumpkins, the witches and magic… what’s not to love?
