Halloween for Your Classroom with Oriental Trading (Sponsored Post)

Oriental Trading is your go-to source for fun inspiration! Celebrating Over 80 Years of Fun!

I have talked about my love of Halloween every season for a period of five years on this blog and what has changed is that I now get to put together fun events for an entire classroom instead of just for our family and friends. I certainly remember celebrating Halloween at school in a variety of ways, from learning bone-chilling fun songs in music to making our own face masks, so I like that Brooke’s school gets into the spirit. This year, I was able to put together an awesome list of Halloween items for Brooke’s first grade class and it was really awesome and rewarding. I took into consideration what I thought were great crafts and items for kids to be able to take home and use if their families didn’t have extra money to spend on Halloween. I also wanted to add educational items and learning incentives to incorporate into the Halloween theme which was possible through the company, Oriental Trading. The budget was approximately $75, so I definitely made the most with that amount and I think I put together a great list of items perfect for the classroom!

First, here is the list of items that I put together and all the items are available for purchase at OrientalTrading.com:

My Thoughts: While I am always impressed with the quality and quantity of my Oriental Trading purchases, I was also excited with how fun and useful the selection is for Halloween themed items for the classroom through Oriental Trading’s website. It’s great to be able to provide creative crafts, Halloween totes, learning incentives, and fun masks for kids to celebrate the season while encouraging writing and even some international learning about different ways another country celebrates the fall season.

Goal!
