I love combining children's excitement about the holidays with an educational lesson. I think its a WIN, WIN for the kids and teachers.
Last week, I posted a couple of inexpensive Halloween Pumpkin Clocks for the kids to make with paper plates. You can read those posts here and here.
Here are two more! How about a Friendly Ghost Clock or a Spider Clock?

If you need directions, you can hop over to last week's directions for the pumpkin clock. You can find the directions here.
A trip to a Craft Store or even a Dollar Store can give you more choices for a Halloween Clock Theme. I think the Turkey stickers are available also if you want to start early and tie in Thanksgiving and a Math Lesson on Time.
If you want more ideas for using the Friendly Ghosts Theme with younger kids, you can get some great Montessori Ideas in a post by Deb Chitwood from Living Montessori Now. Just click on the link below.
