Mess-free, screen-free Halloween activity for kids ๐ŸŽƒ

I found this Halloween air dry clay kit on Amazon and itโ€™s SO good. Every pack is a different character (ghost, bat, owl, witch, spider) and it comes with step-by-step instructions, so the kids can make them on their own.

No baking, no glitter, no mess. Just shape it and let it dry.
Perfect for Halloween classroom parties or a class party craft, and an easy Halloween activity at home with toddlers and preschoolers.

Save this for your Halloween party planning!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LUCIE!!!! ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’— We love you!!! Sincerely, all the moms in Chicago ๐Ÿ˜‰

THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE!!!! ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’— Please take a moment to comment a favorite friend of a mom memory - it would mean a lot to us! Early motherhood is HARD, and we are glad to be able to lean on each other.

WHYYY are there so many days off this year?! They always catch us by surprise, but not this year!! So if you need to plan out your childcare for all the days off, we put together this resource for all of us.

Visit our website to download the printable version or the editable web version from our CPS Day Off Camp Guide and if you need help finding activities, youโ€™ll have a bunch of options in the guide too!

Weโ€™re all figuring this out together - hope it helps!!! ๐Ÿ’—
