It’s just about two weeks before Halloween! That’s when I always used to put out Montessori-inspired Halloween activities as a Montessori teacher and homeschooler. You may put yours out earlier, and that’s totally fine. It just depends on what works best for you and your homeschool or classroom.
Today, I want to share the links to my Halloween posts in case you’ve missed any as well as share some Montessori-inspired Halloween activities from around the blogosphere published since my Montessori-Inspired Halloween Activities post in 2011. I always love revisiting old posts and seeing what’s new online. Both old and new holiday posts have lots of great ideas and inspiration for the holiday season.
Of course, if you don’t celebrate Halloween, you might prefer some fall-themed activities for a harvest festival. I’ll share my pumpkin roundups here, but you can find those and my other fall-themed posts here: Montessori-Inspired Fall Activities.

Thanks for sharing these awesome ideas! I have another idea that I think is up your ally! We do a “Pumpkin Prayer” carving activity with kids at this time of year (I’m linking to the directions in my siggy). It’s very sensorial, seasonal, and gives a nice Biblical lesson to boot.
Great round up! We did a few simple Halloween inspired trays this week and had a lot of fun with them. Thanks for sharing with The Sunday Showcase.
Thanks, Allison! I just added your Halloween-inspired trays and child-led pumpkin carving to my post! π
