All treats. A little mischief.

Your path to a lovely day

1. Two weeks before: choose a time before younger children get tired.
2. One week before: choose two activities and gather supplies.
3. Three days before: prepare picture clues and a rain plan.
4. The day before: cover the craft table and put each activity in its own tray.
5. On the day: begin with crafting, pause for snacks, and finish with the hunt.

Let’s play a little

Pumpkin scavenger hunt: hide paper pumpkins with picture clues; work in teams with an adult.

No-carve pumpkin studio: decorate with washable paint and paper shapes. Cover the table first.
