8 Fun NON- carving and NON-scary Pumpkin Ideas

Are you looking for a new idea for PUMPKINS?? Be sure to click on each title so you can read more about the post activity. :)

1. Crayon Melted Pumpkins was a huge hit with the hubby especially when he took over with the heat gun since the hair dryer was taking a bit longer then expected.

2. Painted Pumpkins is always an easy but fun task especially for those younger toddlers. :) Take it outside for an even easier clean up.

3. Ripped Paper Pumpkin Craft was super easy to get ready yet fun for those little hands because they got to rip. Ripping is also a great fine motor skill to work on.

4. Story Book Pumpkins

allow endless possibilities for fun. My daughters favorite series is Pinkalicous so look at our Pink pumpkin. We had a white pumpkin so the pink popped out beautifully! :)

5. Sand shaker pumpkins was an activity we did in town at the art museum. My daughter loved using the contact paper for this activity. I think I need to find more activities with contact paper.

6. Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head Pumpkins looked so adorable sitting on our front porch swing.

7. Pipe cleaner pumpkins work best when you use a skewer to poke the holes. Young kids can still do this with your supervision of the skewer. My 5 year old loved it!

8. Yarn wrapped pumpkins was something I wanted to do so I honestly did it without the kids. My son was napping and my daughter was at school and I felt like having some pumpkin fun. :)

Pumpkins are a great fall activity and it sure is nice to have many options for decorating them then just traditional carving.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
