Take a Break: Halloween 2011 Name Skeletons/Edible Acorns

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays in the whole year. There are just so many interesting and fun things to do. So today starts the next four weeks of activities to prepare for Halloween. Note that last year, I provided four weeks of activities pertaining to Dias de la Mortis (Day of the Dead). The links for each week are as follows:

Paper cuts/skulls

Skeleton figurines /paintings

Food and coloring

Altars/Flowers/Halloween Movies

But now for this week’s activities
“Name Skeletons.” This is an easy project, that makes quite a statement. Take a piece of white paper, the bigger the larger the skeleton. Fold it in half. Along the half, print a name-yours, a friend’s, a favorite pet or even an object. Make sure the letters connect. Now cut out the name. Small cuts across the centerline make interesting design details. Unfold and you have the center of your skeleton. Paste on black paper, adding a skull, arms and legs.

Edible Acorns: By “gluing” (a dab of melted chocolate, Nutella or even peanut butter) a Hershey kiss to the bottom of a Mini Nilla wafer, with a dab of chocolate on the top for the stem, you have something that looks like an acorn.
