Soulful Thoughts of Rachel

Yesterday I helped my son make Halloween cards for his teachers. DIY Halloween cards are easy and fun to do.  They are also inexpensive compared to ready made ones. You just need a little bit of imagination to make your cards interesting.

We simply used bond paper, art paper, glue, scissors and colored pens.  Yohan thought of the theme and I helped him cut out the figures.  I helped him cut out a full moon using yellow art paper, black bats and orange pumpkins.  We used black pentel pen to add some details. Yohan had fun gluing the figures on bond paper (folded into half). We made several cards with the same design.  He wrote short Halloween greetings on each card for his teachers.

We had an early trick or treat in our village last Saturday.  We decorated our house by putting scary masks over our lamp posts and hanging some “ghosts” near the front door. We also put some fake cobwebs for the final touch.

Last year, Yohan was a pirate. This year his Halloween costume is Thomas the Tank Engine.

We prepared 100 loot bags for the kids.  There were a lot of left over loot bags which I distributed to Yohan’s classmates and friends in school.
