Oh wow! What a “monster” list 🙂 I tried out the potato masher spiders with my son and they came out very well (and buggy) lol. Being a STEM blogger, I put together some ‘science-y’ Halloween activities here – https://kidpillar.com/best-halloween-resources-for-kids-history-diys-activities-movies-and-much-more/ – if you’re interested 🙂
Thank you! I will definitely check them out!
