Our twelfth theme for our 13 day countdown is owls. All of these ideas would be great not only for Halloween, but all through the fall season. 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!)
- Make donations to a local bird refugee , aviary, or nature center
- Make owl treats and share with a friend/neighbor- write "thanks for being a hoot!"
- Talk about ways to keep the skies clean and free from pollutants and make a plan as a family to implement one of the ideas
Literature
Owl Moon, Owl Babies, and The Littlest Owl are all great books about owls. While they aren't Halloweenish at all, they are still great books!
Learning Time Fun
Making Learning Fun has a GREAT selection of owl themed learning activities. We like the dot-to-dots, handprint owl idea, and these cute magnet pages.
