Our tenth theme for our 13 day countdown is monsters. Here are some of the fun ideas I have found (sorted by category). And while I will only have time to do two or three of these ideas, I wanted to include everything I found that was noteworthy. Many of these were found on Pinterest (i just LOVE this site!) some are on my wiki, and some I have found through google searches.
Service Project (Same concept as 12 days of Christmas...but with a Halloween twist!)
- Have your kiddo tame their inner monster for a moment and perform an anonymous act of service
- Embrace your inner monster and spend the afternoon running, jumping, and climbing at a nearby park- even if the weather is a bit blustery.
Literature
Go Away Big Green Monster Although this isn't necessarily a Halloween book, it is a fun book about monsters. It would be fun to have your little one create their own monsters after reading this book!
Monsters Don't Eat Broccoli It sounds like a fun read! It has received great reviews on Amazon! I think this book is geared for the picky eater (I know we all have one in our family!).

These cards are ADORABLE from Angela Sgro Designs- I love them! What a clever way to use paint chip cards!
I like this idea from House of Baby Piranha - wiggly eyes and play doh. Simple and fun!

The first song was found at Kid'nKaboodle, and the Monster Mash video was found while searching YouTube!
(Tune: Clementine)
In the graveyard,
In the graveyard,
When the moon
Begins to shine
There's a doctor
Crazy doctor
And his monster,
Frankenstein.
Oh, my monster,
Oh, my monster,
Oh, my monster,
Frankenstein
You are very,
Very scary
Don't come near me
Frankenstein.
Monster Mash
Classic, catchy song- and the cartoon is great for kids of all ages!
Misc
Sesame Street + R.E.M. = Furry Happy Monsters. Love it.
Happy Haunting!
