The holidays are connected with the change of the seasons, that’s why the celebrating the different holidays helps toddlers learn about the year, the seasons, the weather and differences of particular season and of course traditions. Halloween also can tell toddlers about special believes and surperstitions. BUT I don’t like everything about Halloween, especially when we speak about Halloween for toddlers. Mostly because toddlers are very impressionable or sensitive. Things that can be funny and harmless for you can cause a child a strong stress and emotional injury. They may not show you this from the first time but have a nightmares or start to play strange or agressive games. The distinction between funny and scary is very delicate and for every child is different. So, be careful telling about vampires and werewolves, because for toddlers they sound real. But if this holiday is widely celebrated in your country you should explain what is Halloween. Some funny songs may help you. Here are some lyrics that we learn with my daughter this year. Hope they your kids will enjoy them too.

Pumpkin song

Pumpkin pumpkin on the ground
How’d you get so big and round
Planted as a seed so small
Now you are a great big ball
Pumpkin pumpkin on the ground
How’d you get so big and round

Pumpkin is the kindest character of this holiday. I love everything about pumpkins and my toddler loves too. We love draw and color pumpkins and to carve them.

Five Little Pumpkins
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate
The first one says, “My, it’s getting late.”
The second one says, “There are witches in the air.”
The third one says, “But we don’t care.”
The fourth on says, “Let’s run and run and run!”
The fifth one says, “We’re ready for some fun!”
Ooooooooooo went the wind
And out went the light
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight

Friendly Ghost
I’m a very friendly ghost
And I can scare you too
I cover my face with my hands
And then say BOO to you.

My toddler thinks that ghosts are just cartoons characters and I think it’s enough for her age. When she is older we’ll speak about it more.

Have You Seen the Ghost of Tom?

Have you seen the ghost of Tom?
Long white bones with the rest all gone (Have you seen the ghost of Tom?)
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh (Long white bones with the rest all gone)
Wouldn’t it be chilly with no skin on? (Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh)

GOBLIN TRICKS
Tune: “Teddy Bear’s Picnic”

If you should go outside tonight
You’re sure of a big surprise.
If you should go from door to door
You’ll see goblins on every side.

Ghosts and Spidermen, Pirates, too
Firemen, Queens and Kangaroos.
Tonight’s the night, the Goblins
Are out to trick you!
Jean Warren

And in the end I want you to see this funny simple Halloween song for the smallest kids.

Here are some more intresting and really nice Halloween songs for toddlers we loved last year.

Sometimes we have problems with eating. Most parents know what does it mean. Toddlers simply don’t want to waste their time for eating. There are so many things to explore!

The 2 ways of solving this problem are working with my daughter.
First is funny food ideas.
The second is eating stories.
Today we tried Eencey Weencey eating story.
Since my daughter loves Eencey Weensey song I’ve written lyrics to continue this story.
Also I’ve made some pictures to make the story more real:)

The Eencey Weencey spider was very very hungry.


The Eencey Weencey spider wanted to eat some soup.

The Eencey Weencey spider opened up his mouth.

He ate all the soup and nothing left to you.

Perhaps poem isn’t very good but after this song the place was really empty:)

From February my daughter is waiting for Christmas and snow:) It’s hard to find kids who doesn’t like Christmas. Learning fun and simple Christmas songs is interesting, useful and joyful activity for every child of all ages (from 6 month  old till 100 years old).  But the most benefit is for toddlers and babies. They are learning about year and nature with help of good emotions they receive from different holidays and family traditions.

My daughter loves Micky Mouse so much that she loves everything about him and his friends. Recently we found Disney’s Family Christmas Collection and she really enjoy it.

Here is her favorite video with those great Christmas songs.

P.S. In case you haven’t made up your mind about good present for your toddler look up this book. I think it’s great.
