📌 Important Notes:

Halloween themes can be exciting for some children and uncomfortable or unfamiliar for others. Offer participation choices and consider cultural, religious, and sensory preferences when selecting activities.

When discussing expected and unexpected behavior, focus on context, safety, communication, and how choices affect others rather than labeling children themselves as good or bad.

Yoga and movement activities can be adapted to children's mobility, sensory, and physical needs. Play dough activities can also be completed through drawing or other preferred forms of expression.

This bundle contains eight activities, including the Halloween Feelings Play Dough and Drawing Mats. Some of the individual activities have autumn themes and can be used beyond Halloween.
