Lollipop Ghosts- who hasn't made these classic Halloween treats?  Eva needs to join the club!

Ghost Footprints- Eva's little feet will turn spooky for this craft

Ghost Luminaries- we saw this in Family Fun magazine and started savings our milk jugs

Spider Web Weaving- a paper plate will become a home for spiders

Activities
Trick or Treat Alphabet Game- Eva will sort Halloween treats by beginning letter sounds

Spiders on the Web- we'll use the spider web we made to play a fun counting game
