Most of our Halloween decorations are up and this weekend we’re hoping to make a Halloween gingerbread house. Our crafting time is limited now we are all back at school but we managed to squeeze in a really fun craft using recycled corks this week.

As well as Halloween crafting with the kids I’ve also been on the look out for some Halloween activities to keep them busy. I came up with this Halloween Bingo game for kids and thought it was too…
