First we painted fake pumpkins and then showed the kids how to melt crayon onto the pumpkins. I cheated and had glued the crayons on the pumpkin the night before to make sure they would stay on during melting. That was a huge hit. Though I made certain I had boxes for everyone to take their new pumpkin home in, I wanted them painted first so that they had a chance to dry as much as possible before they had to go home. We used washable paint, but no reason to take any unnecessary chances.
We then decided to learn some magical spells. I blew up a bunch of balloon and handed the kids wands. They then had to say "Leviosa" while using their wands to keep the balloons in the air. This was a huge hit and kept them busy for a while.
After tearing them away from their magic lessons, we then decorated Bibles for the shoebox party in November. We managed to decorate all 30 of them and finished the notebooks we hadn't been able to get to last time!
James Tiberius Cat also joined in the fun and willingly (mostly) dressed up as well. Another success!
