Holiday Window Decals

Halloween is fun on so many levels - it's one of my favourite holidays! Decorating the windows with decals is a great way to talk about pumpkins, ghosts, spiders, & bats, and just generally warm your little one up to the idea of dressing up in costume and knocking on neighbours doors. It's also a terrific way to exercise those fine motor skills as toddlers peel them off and on (and off, and on, and off, and on).

Decals are available pretty much anywhere Halloween decorations are sold. Check Michaels craft store, Superstore, Walmart, etc.. The new jelly ones look really cool, but are less tolerant of multiple applications. They also really don't do well after a night in bed with a toddler. (It's our latest thing - EVERYTHING goes to bed. Heavy negotiations get it down to soft things that won't wake him up when he rolls over.)

Note for neat freaks: skip this activity. Your windows will look horrible for a good month, no matter what you do. Grandma threw hers out on day two... We're not so fussy at our place!
