Tulips

The spooky season, Halloween is here again. Since last week, it has been time when the Tulips have participated in different activities such as making Halloween arts and crafts, baking Spooky Witches Fingers, chocolate spiders and ghosts cookies. However, nothing could match better in getting in the Hallowed spirit like carving a pumpkin. With one of the Tulips teacher’ assistance, children  scrawled with a permanent marker onto the pumpkin. They had fun time putting a funny face on it, they were really good touching the rough exterior and scraping the inside of the pumpkin, taking out all the seeds and pumpkin fruit. 

The aim of the activity was to introduce the Halloween tradition to children with the help of fun activities. Moreover, by doing this activity, children improved their social skills as they were asked to wait for their turn and collaborate with their friends.
