Yeah! It’s almost fall! I’m so excited! The average temperature here in sunny Florida will drop from scorching hot to just flaming hot! Which is like what? A whole 5 degrees or something?  🙂  Haha! I’m kidding but sometimes it really seems like that! I wish we lived where we could experience all four seasons. The leaves in the fall and the snow in the winter… maybe some day… Anyway back to the real reason for this post my Shredded Paper Bats and Jack-O-Lanterns Toddler Craft.

Halloween is almost here! I LOVE dressing up. I do not really care for the trick-or-treating but the dressing up and decorating I’m all about that! And the pumpkins, of course! I just love all things pumpkin, don’t you?

The girls love to help me decorate for each holiday and Halloween is one of their favorites! To help alleviate some of the boredom and cabin fear we were experiencing due to Hurricane Irma a couple of weeks ago the girls and I decided to start making some Halloween crafts. I love this shredded paper bats and jack-o-lanterns toddler craft because it helps develop their fine motor skills by tearing up the paper. It also helps them work on learning how to use glue neatly. You can find the printables for free here Bats and Pumpkins via Dropbox.
