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.

Spiral Snake

12-31-2015 -- This was an art project that Lauren did in Brightly Beaming Resources' (Step 2: Letter of the Week) home school curriculum for the "s" sound as in "snake", I searched for some snake crafts for kids and found this art called "Spiral Snake" from artprojectsforkids.org.


I've seen other versions of doing a spiral snake out there but I chose this version because of it's convenience for kids to make. It has a "snake pattern" that is easy to cut with wide sections in them that the kids can easily color or paint alternately as well as draw designs on. Lauren painted the "snake pattern" with poster colors. I printed 3 patterns to be painted with 3 types of different color combinations for variety. 


When the paint has dried, I lightly draw some designs in the sections and Lauren traced them with black pentel pen. You can also try and draw other designs aside what is done in the original sample.


SNAKE STORY FOR KIDS: The Cunning Snake

After tracing the designs, Lauren cut the snakes herself. Additionally, I let her color the back of each snake with crayon, this way when the snake is hanged for display the back part would show some colors too and not just plain white paper. To finish the snake, Lauren added a red tongue sticking out of its mouth.


SNAKE STORY FOR KIDS: The White Snake

The finished "spiral snakes" looked absolutely artistic and colorful. I try to hang them using a white thread and see it spin around, you can hang it anywhere you wish as a decoration outdoors or in any room indoors too. See it spin around when it gets hit by wind or air (as you can see in the video below).
