St Peter's Preschool Harvest Festival

Every year my preschool and the church host a Harvest Festival for all church and preschool families. There are always fun things for the kids to so. The kids are encouraged to wear their costumes for added fun.

One of Marc's favorite thing is the estimation jars. He made an educated guess for all of them, and there were several!! He counted how many items there were on the bottom row, then counted how many rows there were, then Daddy added them on his phone calculator. Marc guessed that there were 392 mini marshmallows in the jar in the picture below, there were actually 398. Great guess!Last year I think Marc did the cupcake walk like 8 times without winning, so after the 9th time, I let him pick one out, he did his time. ;-) This year he was excited to try it again. This year it was a cookie walk and both kids won. :-)
Every time Marc goes back to the preschool he gets very excited that he gets to see his old 5's teacher, Mrs. Street. :-)
One of Marc's other favorite games is the "Fishing for Worms" game. There is a gummy worm tied to the end of a piece of yarn. You have to catch the worm in your mouth using only your mouth.
Each year there are some various crafts for the kids to do. This year the kids got to make paper bats and foam jack-o-lanterns.
The kids were excited about getting tattoos too.
We have fun every year. It is a fun, safe, warm place for the kids to celebrate Halloween. :-)
