I have been SO busy prepping for our Harvest Hoedown party at school. We do an "On the farm" version of Halloween. Everyone dresses up in their best "country wear" (ie:Bibs, cowboy boots-hats, flannel, etc..) and we have a little carnival. Its an all day event, where the parents are invited. Each room has a different theme, and although we got to pick last, I am happy with our GARDEN theme. My student spent the entire week making vegetable crafts to show their parents on the big day. (Pictures to come)
Besides just prepping our (adorable) room, we also had to create two booths for the outdoor carnival. Being the go-getter that I am I took on them both alone. Since my father has unlimited access to plywood, I had him cut me two pieces. I used them to create a photo booth and a toss game. I have spent the last few weeks attempting to paint them and this was the outcome.
Pumpkin Toss (the background color is purple, but my camera is a little off)
I created these using tennis balls and orange and green fabric. (They are supposed to be pumpkins if you can't tell :) )
This is the photo booth. Its my take on the "American Gothic" painting. I wanted it to be cartoon-like and kid friendly! What do you think?
I am happy that tomorrow is finally here. I am excited to share in these memories with my students. They are so excited for the games, crafts and treats.... and so am I!!! What a great end to the week and start to our festive weekend! :) I'll be sure to keep you posted on all the festivities, and you know me... they'll be LOTS of pictures to go right along with it! :)
