Month in review…
HEDP Halloween Party was enjoyed by all
The children in 2-6 worked so hard during the month of October to prepare for the HEDP annual Halloween party. We are so impressed by their creativity and ideas that contributed to the success of the party. The children made and hosted carnival inspired games activities for the k-2 children to enjoy. Games and activities included: Witch Hat Ring Toss, Halloween Cup Knock Down, Pin the Wart on the Witch, Bean Bag Bucket Toss, Pumpkin Ball Toss, Ghost Pop Pull, Spider Jump, Tattoo Station, Cupcake Decorating Station, Feely Boxes, Face Painting, and a Halloween Book Mark Station. Thank you to much to all the families who donated treats and supplies for the party.
Cooking, Sewing and Beading
When the children were not busy with party preparations, they were busy sewing, cooking and beading. With apples in season, the children made two delicious recipes: Apple Turnovers and Homemade Applesauce. Furthermore, the children sewed their very own pumpkin treat bags for some Halloween treats. Finally, the kids enjoyed making beadie buddies using pony beads. Some created Halloween buddie buddies while others made other kinds of creatures such as snakes, lizards and Pokemon characters! All of these activities are great for building children’s skills in different areas such as measuring, counting, patterns, attention to detail, fine motor, imagination and creativity!
Upcoming attractions…
Project Bread Holiday Spoons Project
HEDP will continue its annual participation in Project Bread’s Holiday Spoons Project. Project Bread is the state’s leading anti-hunger organization, dedicated to preventing and alleviating hunger in Massachusetts. Project Bread funds over 400 food pantries, soup kitchens, and food banks all over Massachusetts. The Holiday Spoons Project is a fun meaningful way for children to learn about hunger and help feed hungry children in Massachusetts. Children will use their creativity and imagination to decorate wooden spoons using a wide variety of art materials. In years past, kids depicted cartoon characters, people, animals and more! We can’t wait to see what they come up with this year! We will sell the kid’s creations to friends, families and teachers for $2.00 each. All the money raised will be donated to Project Bread to help in its mission to end hunger in Massachusetts. Furthermore, we hope to help raise awareness about the issue of hunger in our community through group discussions, books and activities.
