I really enjoy Halloween, not just because of all the sugary sweets, but because of the excitement of dressing up and the sense of community when we take our kids trick-or-treating around our neighbourhood. Once the cold weather hits, people like to go into hibernation, so it’s a great opportunity to visit with our neighbours!

I’ve been meaning to make a felt board for my bugs for a while now, and finally got around to assembling one the other day. I made our felt board simply by stapling a sheet of black felt to a foam board. In the spirit of Halloween, I thought it would be fun for the boys to be able to create their own silly monsters. This activity is cheap, easy to make, and a lifesaver for when you are in dire need of some quiet time. When I’m making dinner, and tempers are on the brink of boiling over, I pull out the felt board and monster pieces, and my bugs are settled and engaged for at least 20 minutes. I will definitely be making more felt activities to go along with our felt board!
