Little Bug Paints a Pumpkin

Sigue leyendo para la version en español!
Festivals are so much more enjoyable with a little bug or little bugs, but I am always at odds as to HOW to go about celebrating as I am not always comfortable
(i.e. scary, spooky stuff and way too much candy!) This year we carved a pumpkin (well, that was mostly me!), went Trick or Treating (we have candy to give a way!) and we painted a pumpkin! We were at odds over trick or treating as we are not exactly excited about all the candy - but I was happy to discover that my little bug is NOT a candy fan - he likes cookies and chocolate, which is fine in moderation! The thing we enjoyed doing most was painting our pumpkin as a family! It was a great opportunity to revisit talking about colors, introducing color mixing (e.g. Yellow + Blue= Green), fine motor if you are using brushes (which Daniel is currently really into!) and sensorial play (exploring textures!)

Celebrarse un festival con los peques son mil veces mas divertidos aunque siempre esto indecisa de cómo hacerse la celebración (algunos elementos de Halloween, por ejemplo, no son apropiados para niños tan pequeños.) Este año nosotros hemos tallado una calabaza, hemos ido de truco o trato y también  hemos incluido lo de pintar una calabaza como parte de nuestro  celebración. Lo hemos pintado en familia y fue una gran oportunidad para repasar colores, hablar de mezclar colores (por ejemplo: amarillo + azul= verde), y la motricidad fina (si estáis utilizando pinceles, cosa que ha Daniel le gusta muchísimo ahora mismo), y el juego sensorial (explorando las texturas de la calabaza y la pintura!)
