Halloween Art Adventure!

Introduction to the Lesson

🎃 Welcome to Our Spooky Art Fun! 🎃
Let’s get ready for a colorful and creative Halloween adventure! Today, we will explore the fascinating world of Halloween through art. We’re going to make some magical creations that you can show off to your friends and family!

Setting the Scene

🎨 Storytime: The Halloween Mystery

Let’s gather around and read a short story about a little ghost named "Gus" who wants to make friends with the pumpkins in the patch. As we read, let’s talk about our favorite Halloween characters!

• Questions to Discuss:
  • What do you think Gus looks like?
  • Who are your favourite Halloween characters – witches, ghosts, or maybe bats?

Activity: Let's Create Spooky Art!

🖌️ Materials Needed:

• Coloured construction paper (orange, black, white, purple)
• Crayons and markers
• Scissors (for adult use) and glue
• Halloween-themed stickers
• Cotton balls (for fluffy ghosts!)
• Googly eyes

🖼️ Steps for Our Art Project:

1. Make Your Own Pumpkin:

   • Use orange construction paper to cut out a pumpkin shape.
   • Decorate it with markers and stickers.

2. Create Cute Ghosts:

   • Take a piece of white paper and make a ghost shape (or use cotton balls to create fluffy ghosts).
   • Add googly eyes to make them friendly!

3. Design a Spooky Scene:

   • On a large piece of black construction paper, glue your pumpkins and ghosts to create a Halloween scene.
   • Use purple markers to draw spooky trees or a haunted house.

🎉 Show and Tell:

Once everyone has completed their art, we will have a “Show and Tell” where each child can share their creations. Let’s celebrate our creativity and enjoy our spooky artwork together!

Conclusion:
