Zombie Toss: Create A Plants VS Zombies Inspired Halloween Game + Links to FREE Printables!

This year, for some fun this Halloween season, I made this game that me and Lauren played inspired and involving characters from the popular tower defense game "Plants VS Zombies". I call this game "zombie toss", I use a small empty cardboard box to create a zombie head that will be used to toss onto the plant characters. I used small disposable cups as stand of the plant characters. The cups hold prizes inside them that anyone can get from knocking down any of the plant characters.

Leaf Prints

11-5-2015 -- This was an art project that Lauren did in Brightly Beaming Resources' (Step 2: Letter of the Week) home school curriculum for the "l" sound as in "leaf", she is going to make art using "leaves".


I did a search for some leaf crafts and found this "Leaf Prints Tree" craft from firstpalette.com. I think it's a fun and creative thing for kids to do with leaves aside from leaf rubbing. First Palette have 6 kinds of trunk templates to use in creating a tree, we use the trunk template with roots. If you wish to create a large tree, you may use these templates. Lauren painted the template with brown poster color. 


Lauren painted a medium sized leaf using green & yellow green poster colors to print onto the branches of the trunk and all around to make the whole tree. It's also a great idea to allow kids to use any color of choice to paint the leaves and create their own kind of tree or they can use one large leaf as a whole tree and just draw and paint a little trunk below the leaf. 


Your child can also try printing a row or group of large leaves in one paper then paint the trunks below it to create a series of small trees or forest of trees. Leaf printing is definitely a nice, easy and fun craft for kids to do. Definitely a great art activity and idea to do with leaves. 

If you're looking for a leaf art activity you can do with your kids, you should try this "Leaf Prints Tree" craft from firstpalette.com!
