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.

Paper House Collage / House Craft

10-5-2016 -- In this post, I will be sharing a "house" craft idea. This was a craft project that Lauren did in Brightly Beaming Resources' (Step 3: Sound of the Week) homeschool curriculum for the short "ou" sound as in "house". This is the most fun part of the curriculum, making the art projects. Lauren will do a "house" craft, I thought about doing a house collage made by cutting different colors of construction papers in uneven and slanted shapes for the roofs, chimneys, windows, walls and doors to form different kinds of houses.


================================================================= MATERIALS FOR THIS CRAFT:
=================================================================

* heavy weight paper (for background) * construction papers * dry glue stick * scissors * ruler * crayons * coloring markers

=================================================================
READY FOR KID BEFORE STARTING ACTIVITY ALONG WITH OTHER MATERIALS:

 * cut background pieces (trees, clouds, etc.)

================================================================= DONE BY ADULT OR PARENT:

* House Parts: Create roofs, walls, windows, doors and chimneys on different colors of construction papers in any color of choice in slant and uneven patterns using a ruler. You may try different shapes aside from circle or square in creating windows. 

* Background Pieces: Create any background view of your choice aside from what is shown. Draw background pieces such trees, cloud, etc. on a construction paper in different shapes of choice.

================================================================= DONE BY CHILD:
=================================================================

2. Next, let child alternately draw details of their choice on the house parts using coloring markers and color the drawings using crayons. 


3. Next, let child glue and put together the houses on paper. Then let child glue other additional background pieces such as trees, clouds or maybe flowers, birds, etc. on top or sides of houses. Let child draw additional details on the pieces using coloring markers.


4. And there you go, the "paper house collage" craft is DONE.
