Celebrating Holidays Through Literature – Halloween Books 2018

in Books Books Books, Holidays, Toddler Zone on October 23, 2018

“Trick or treat! Giggle and fright! It’s fun to be scared on Halloween night!”

– Mouse’s First Halloween by Lauren Thompson

Our weather turned rather chilly the last couple of weeks, with six inches of snow falling last Sunday. Needless to say, we’ve been spending more time snuggled up on our couch reading stories. So, I guess it’s a good thing that we found some amazing Halloween books at our local library!

We’ve read each of these spooky stories numerous times…a handful of them more than 100 times. And I’m happy to report that these Halloween books are so enjoyable, you won’t even mind reading them on repeat. 🙂


Our Favorite Halloween Books (2018)

  • Jampires by Sarah McIntyre & David O’Connell
    • Sam sits down to breakfast to find that all of the jam in his donuts is completely gone…sucked dry. So, he sets a clever trap to apprehend the jam thief…only to discover not one, but two, friendly, sweet-toothed jampires, who are having trouble finding their way back home. Sam sets out on a quest to return the jampires to their worried families, and receives a lifetime supply of jam donuts in return.
  • Duck & Goose, Honk! Quack! Boo! by Tad Hills
    • Duck & Goose are very popular in our household, and this Halloween adventure might just be our favorite story yet! Goose is new to the whole Halloween thing, but Duck and Thistle are determined to give him the full Halloween experience…even if it means encountering a terrifyingly slimy swamp monster.
  • Even Monsters Need Haircuts by Matthew McElligott
    • Every month, on the night of the full moon, a young barber quietly sneaks into his father’s barber shop to provide hair-cutting services to some rather curious customers. A little after midnight, the shop is full of monsters. Everything is going swimmingly, until there’s a knock on the front door, and a human customer enters. Everyone freezes…including the boy…he’s never cut a human’s hair before. But things might not be exactly as they seem.
  • Monster Trouble! by Lane Fredrickson
    • Winifred Schnitzel’s bedroom was chock-full of monsters every night, but the monsters did not scare her…she thought monsters were cute. Despite their cuteness, their boisterous activities kept her awake all night. She was so sleepy now during the day…she even slept her way through ballet. Winifred decided enough was enough, so she set a bunch of traps to teach the monsters a lesson. The traps proved ineffective, but Winifred stumbled upon a solution, when she sleepily discovered their one silly weakness. Can you guess what it is?
  • Herbert’s First Halloween by Cynthia Rylant
    • Herbert’s father loves Halloween. Herbert, on the other hand, is not so sure. That is, until he finds out that he can dress up as a tiger and roar through the neighborhood on Halloween night. By the end of their trick-or-treat run, Herbert has already decided what he wants to be next year. I’m guessing that Herbert might just love Halloween too!
  • 10 Busy Brooms by Carole Gerber
    • Grab your broomsticks and join a group of witches on their high-flying Halloween adventure! Will they escape the scrawny skeletons, greedy goblins, and slithering snakes? Do they have what it takes?
  • The Ghosts Go Haunting by Helen Ketteman
    • This clever counting story (sung to the tune of “The Ants Go Marching”) was a huge hit with our little nugget. She just loves when a book can be sung…especially if it’s to a melody she already knows. So, every night we happily follow the ghosts, and other Halloween creatures, as they go haunting through an elementary school.
  • The Night Before Halloween by Natasha Wing
    • On the eve of Halloween, the monsters were all frightfully busy with party preparations. Spider webs were spun, potions were brewed, streamers were hung…they decorated for hours on end. Wee trick-or-treaters find their way to the haunted house up on the hill, but they decline to stay…and run away when a wicked witch invites them in to play.
  • How To Catch a Monster by Adam Wallace
    • A newly-appointed ninja is determined to be rid of the big scary monster who lives in the confines of her closet. She suits up and bravely steps through the door…where she is met with a giant ROAR. She tries a myriad of different tricks, until she finally captures him in a cage. She’s triumphant, but the monster looks so sad. Has she made a horrible mistake? Should she let her monster run free? Perhaps things aren’t what they seem to be. I guess you will have to read the book and see. 🙂
  • Boo Who? by Ben Clanton
    • Boo is new. And being new can be tough…even when the other kids are friendly and welcoming. The shy little ghost can’t catch a ball, pick up sticks, or play tag. He’s left feeling discouraged and lonely…until his new friends start playing a game that suits Boo perfectly! We all feel invisible at times, but there is always a way for each and every one of us to truly shine.
  • Mouse’s First Halloween by Lauren Thompson
    • The moon is full on Mouse’s first Halloween, as he creeps around and encounters various fall creatures – bats, scarecrows, jack-o-lanterns, and more. Everything is so spooky…at least at first…but Mouse soon discovers that it’s all not so scary after all.

If you’re looking for more frightfully fun stories to share with your little ones, make sure to check out our Halloween favorites from 2017 and 2016!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

      Hi Cara! You are so very welcome! I noticed quite a few in your Instagram post today that we have yet to read too, so I’m adding them to our list of must-reads for next year. So, thank you as well. 🙂

Ok...@artwithmrs.e Haunted House project is hands- Ok...@artwithmrs.e Haunted House project is hands-down the best Halloween-themed art project out there! 🙌🙌🙌
We had a blast creating haunted houses for homeschool art this month! 🧡
...
We followed Kaitlyn's extremely helpful Haunted House Drawing Guide (you can find it over on her Teachers Pay Teachers account) and completed the project over the course of 3 lessons.
...
During our first lesson, we sketched our houses in pencil, and added some eerie exterior landscaping. 🪦🦇
We popped in a few spooky characters (ghosts, spiders, pumpkins, and a vampire). 👻🕷🎃🧛
And then we traced over our pencil lines with black Sharpie.
...
During our next lesson, we used a coloring technique that we learned from Kristian @friendsartlab ❤️ We colored our pictures with oil pastels...and then painted over the top of the oil pastels with baby oil...it causes the oil pastels to bleed and blend together! 🤩
...
During our final lesson...we added more spooky characters to the inside of our house...that can peek out behind the doors and windows. 💀🧙‍♀️👻
To do this...I used an X-acto knife and carefully cut around the outside edges of the doors/windows (leaving the hinge sides intact so that they could fold open and closed).
We placed yellow construction paper in the background...and added witches, ghosts, skeletons, a mummy, and a Frankenstein! 😍
This step made our haunted houses really come to life...and we just can't thank Kaitlyn @artwithmrs.e enough for sharing this awesome lesson and drawing guide! THE ABSOLUTE BEST! ❤️❤️❤️
...
It was very evident how much our daughter loved this project...as we worked through each step...but the thing that solidified just how much she enjoyed it was - one weekend morning I walked downstairs to find her and her dad sitting at the table - and she was very excitedly teaching him how to draw his own haunted house - while she drew a few more herself (scroll to the last picture in the carousel)! 🥰

I decided that these six little pumpkins needed a I decided that these six little pumpkins needed a permanent place on our feed...because WE GREW THEM OURSELVES!!! 🎃
That's right...first-time pumpkin-growers over here...and it was all actually a bit of a surprise. 😃
...
You see, when we went to prep our garden beds this spring, we noticed a plant that had already started growing. We assumed it was a cucumber plant, since it was in the same place we had cucumbers last year.
We left it alone and planted a couple of other cucumber plants nearby. 🥒
At first, the leaves on our mystery plant looked very similar to the leaves on our other cucumber plants.
But a couple of weeks later the plant had grown A LOT bigger. It was now obvious that it was not a cucumber plant. But what was it? 🤷‍♀️
...
And that's when it suddenly dawned on these exhausted parents, that our daughter had spontaneously tossed seeds from her pumpkin (last Halloween), into the garden bed. 🤦‍♀️ The mystery was finally solved...and by the looks of the large golden flowers that were emerging all over the vines...we figured we might have a few pumpkins come fall! 🙌🎃🙌
...
It was so much fun to watch the pumpkin plant grow! 🤩 We had to cut down the wire on one side of our garden bed to let the vines out...and they ended up growing 6-10 feet long in both directions! 😳 It was crazy!
They put out the most gorgeous flowers...that the bees absolutely loved! 🧡 And soon enough, we spotted a few round gourds growing at the base of some of the flowers. They grew quickly...and then turned a beautiful shade of orange! 😍
...
Needless to say, we are now officially pumpkin-growing people! 😂 My husband can't wait to plant more next year...and he's already looking in to different varieties - hoping to grow some larger jack-o-lantern style ones next season! 🎃

Free the Frankensteins from the Frozen Rainbow Bra Free the Frankensteins from the Frozen Rainbow Brain! 😬🌈🧠
…
Yesterday, we shared how we made this colorful, frozen rainbow brain - full of Frankenstein mini erasers…and today we wanted to show you what became of our beautiful brain! 😃
…
We popped it out onto a tray, grabbed a shaker of salt, a bottle of warm water (colored red for added effect), and some tongs.
And then it was time to Free the Frankensteins (our daughter coined the phrase)! 😉
…
This spooky activity provides chilly sensory play, motor skills practice, and scientific exploration (salt and warm water speed-up the melting process)! 🙌🙌🙌
As an added bonus…you also get some color-mixing! And the addition of the salt makes it extra sparkly too! 😍🤩😍
…
Eventually, all you’re left with is some mini erasers floating in a pool of colorful water…and a happy kid! ❤️❤️❤️

We are definitely getting into the fall and Hallow We are definitely getting into the fall and Halloween spirit...so during a recent homeschool art session, we decided to make some air-dry clay pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns! 🎃🎃🎃
...
Back in 2019, Lauralee @2art.chambers shared several colorful, air-dry clay pumpkins that her students made...and after rediscovering the saved post, I decided that it would be a perfect October art lesson for us too! 🧡
...
We used various colors of air-dry clay, and rolled each color into whatever pumpkin shape we wanted...and then we added our lines/indentations using the side of a credit card. 💳 The stems are just small, broken pieces of old crayons (another genius idea from Lauralee). 🖍 And we topped our stems with pieces of pipe cleaner, to create the little curly cues. 😍
...
Once we had our pumpkins...we decided to change things up a bit, and grabbed our stash of googly eyes. 👀 (Most of) our fall pumpkins then transformed into Halloween jack-o-lanterns! 🎃
We pressed the googly eyes into the clay, and we used a few small tools (that came with our box of air-dry clay) to add their mouths. 😃
...
And now we have a cute and colorful crew of clay pumpkins adorning our mantle! 🎃🧡🎃

Andrew from @elementaryarts shared a patterned, bl Andrew from @elementaryarts shared a patterned, block letter name project a couple of weeks ago (I'll share the post in stories today), and I immediately added it to our list of art projects to do this year! 😍
But we decided to switch things up a little bit! Instead of using our names, we each picked a color that we like...wrote the name of the color in block letters on our paper...and created our color patterns using at least two different shades of our chosen color. 🖍
...
This colorful project ended up being a lot of fun, and also very relaxing...as we all quietly focused, and zoned in on adding the color patterns around all of our letters. It was actually a bit hypnotizing! 🤩
...
Needless to say, we are really happy with the way our block letter color project turned out! 🙌 We even had a special guest who wanted to join in on this art project! ❤️
...
P.S. We also used Andrew’s free TPT handout on how to make block letters! The bundle includes bubble letters, cursive letters, graffiti letters, and more! 👍

We created self-portraits for our first art projec We created self-portraits for our first art project of our homeschool year...and we are pretty obsessed with them! 🤩✏️🤩
...
I love the idea of doing a self-portrait project at the beginning of the year, and then again at the end of the year...so that we can see how much we've grown and changed.
...
We used Kaitlyn's @artwithmrs.e Simple Self-Portrait Drawing Guide and it was so incredibly helpful (especially for this new homeschool teacher who wouldn't necessarily list drawing as one of her stronger suits). 😉
We actually purchased her entire Guided Drawing Bundle (over on Teachers Pay Teachers) and we highly recommend it! 🙌🙌🙌
...
We looked through the self-portrait drawing guide to get different ideas for our eyes, nose, mouth, and hair. 👀👃👄
...
Now...if you caught our stories earlier this week, you know that our daughter recently made a pretty big change to her hair (that included a partial side-shave and bob-length cut - she also dyed it blue). 💇‍♀️
She was used to drawing pictures of herself with her long, blonde locks...and her new hairstyle proved rather difficult. But she persevered, and ended up with a self-portrait that she was truly proud of! 🥰
...
When we were finished drawing our likenesses, we decided to cut them out and create a special background to glue them onto. I went with random black and white designs...and our nugget decided to draw various things that she loves (her family, winter, candy, books, dolphins...and more)! ❤️
...
It was such a fun project...and I can't wait to see what our self-portraits look like at the end of our school year! 😃
