Do you have some toilet paper rolls lying around? Paint them, add some googly eyes, and glue some paper on them to create a little mummy. Let the kids imaginations run wild, and create any spooky character they can come up with.

Want to create a memento of little hands enjoying the holiday? Grab a box, piece of paper, white and black paint, a golf ball and some googly eyes. Put the paper, the golf ball, and some white paint on the paper, close the box lid, and let the littles shake some energy out while shaking the box. Take out your paper to see a unique web pattern. Then make a handprint spider. Perfect for remembering tiny hands.

How about a pumpkin stamp? All you need is a piece of paper, an apple cut in half, orange paint, googly eyes, and pipe cleaners. And you have the perfect fine motor activity for little hands.

Crafting will turn anyone into a hangry monster. So how about some creepy themed snacks?

Jack o lantern fruit cups, made from oranges are a perfect snack for little hands.

Peanut Butter spider cookies are simple to make and are sure to make your little one squeal. From delight, we hope.

And last, but not least, Witch hat cupcakes. So simple to put together with any cupcake recipe, and ice cream cones.

And there you have. The perfect spine chilling, hair raising treats and activities for the whole family.

Here are 6 easy & fun activities for children:

Bubbles– kids love bubbles! You can make this fun too by getting a bubble machine, fun wands, or just ordinary bubbles are perfectly fine! Go outside, get the bubbles going, run around a bit, and get some fresh air too!

If you want a neat bubble machine that is portable, check this one out:  

Sensory Box– there are so many ideas for easy sensory box/bin that allows a child to play and have fun as well as incorporating sensory stimulation. One idea for a unique sensory bin is to make a birdseed sensory bin. All you need is a plastic bin/box (prefer deeper ones so less of a mess) and a few bird figurines. This is a fun way for the child to see what foods some birds like to eat, feel the textures of the seeds, and have lots of fun playing with the birds and birdseed. 

Color Scavenger Hunt– oh this is so much fun and super easy and it takes the children outside (although this can be done inside too). You will need a white paper lunch bag and color markers. Write Color Scavenger Hunt at the top of the white paper lunch bag and then choose the colors you want the child to find on the hunt outside (or inside for a rainy day) and scribble small squares of that color on the front of the bag. Give the child the color scavenger hunt bag and let them have fun collecting all the items that match the colors on the bag. After the hunt, you can have the child share what they found and tell you all about the items. Also, has some amazing craft ideas for kids so hop on over and take a peak! (idea from )

Alphabet Hunt– this is a fun activity similar to an Easter egg hunt but with the alphabet! You just simply hide alphabet magnets or alphabet flashcards around the house for an indoor activity or in the yard for outdoor activity. You then have the child hunt all the alphabet and when they find the letter they must tell you a word that starts with that letter.

Need some alphabet magnets? to see a very reasonable priced one.

Paper Airplane Races– this is a super simple yet fun activity. Have the child sit down and make a paper airplane (you may have to assist) and then they can decorate with colors and stickers! Then race with the paper airplanes. Set up a start line and have the child or children throw their paper airplane to see who goes the farthest or who flies the fastest. You will need more than one paper airplane for the race so if there is more than one child have them race one another or you as the Nanny or Mom make one and race with the child!

Build a Fort– an oldie but a goodie! Build a fort in the house with a table, chairs, sheets, blankets, and anything else you can think of that would be great for it. Take a flashlight and a book and read stories by flashlight! Or make it like you are camping and tell stories by the “campfire”!

These activities will bring lots of smiles and laughs! Please share with us if you try any of these and tag us @allaboutnannies. 

Also, if you are a family needing a Nanny to come in and have fun with your children (and even incorporate some of these fun activities) and care for them while you are working, then feel free to click on over to our Family Application and we’d be happy to help you!
