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.

Masquerade Masks

11-12-2015 -- This was an art project that Lauren did in Brightly Beaming Resources' (Step 2: Letter of the Week) home school curriculum for the "m" sound as in "mask", this time she is going to make a "masquerade mask", which is a type of mask that she has never done before. I did a search for some mask crafts for kids and found this "Masquerade Mask" craft from firstpalette.com.


I think this is a fun masquerade mask for kids to make. Firstpalette have 3 kinds of masquerade masks templates. I printed all 3 so Lauren can make 3 different masks. I cut the template and had Lauren painted the 2 masks with poster colors.


While the other one she colored it using oil pastel colors. Lauren followed the samples of doing a masquerade mask from the site which we found this craft, this is one enjoyable mask craft activity, we hope to do it again in the future, creating her own designs on the masks.


Additionally, Lauren brush glitter glues on the masks to make them appear sparkling and glittery.


For the feathers on one mask, I cut orange crepe papers in leaf patterns, folded them in half and cut thin strips on the side. Lauren glued them onto a hard paper for use as a feather topper on one of the masks. 


 This is definitely one great activity to do with the kids, Lauren and her cousin tried the mask on and they look really nice and fun to wear. It's also a great idea to use these templates to create some colorful and lovely masks for a masquerade theme birthday celebration or party.
