I gathered a bunch of small Halloween themed items from around our house.
I drew black eyes onto white beans to make them look like ghosts.
I combined all of the items with black beans and black eyed peas in a plastic bottle. I had O in mind when I was making the Halloween I Spy bottle, but E turned out to love it much more than O. I am not exaggerating when I say that we shook the bottle and found the cat at least 15 times in the first 20 minutes after I made the bottle. She kept saying "cat!" over and over and over again. This afternoon she saw the bottle and started yelling "cat! cat!" So we found the cat many more times. What fun for my cat obsessed baby!
I love the idea of holiday themed "I Spy" bottles, and I'm wondering why I never thought of this! I'm looking forward to making Christmas and Valentine's Day bottles!

ReplyDeleteI am actually in the process of collecting items so that I can make an i-spy bottle for each month. The plan is to use 2 liter bottles and cover big holidays, family birthdays, and maybe a few other things. I really want to emphasize the seasonal things for each month. And when I FINALLY have them done, I want to make them part of our seasonal table!
ReplyDeleteLove the bean ghosts! Kerri
