This 6 page resource is designed for KS1 children. Each page focuses on a different autumn animal: fox, deer, mouse, owl, squirrel, and hedgehog. The idea is to break the drawing process down into 6 simple steps that children can follow easily. The resource links to Autumn, Animals, Seasons and art.

“KS1 & EYFS Halloween Expression Cards: Witches, Monsters, Red Devils, Skeletons, Spiders, Pumpkins and more (10- sets in Colour & Black-and-White, 6 Cards per Page, with 1 Blank Face per Set)” Suggested Ways to Use the Cards: Recognizing Expressions: Encourage children to identify and name the emotions on each character’s face (e.g., happy witch, scared monster). Can they make the expression? When might someone make that expression? Drawing Expressions: Use the blank-faced character card to let children draw an expression that matches the set or create their own unique emotion. Colour Matching: Have children match the coloured cards to their black-and-white counterparts to reinforce visual discrimination. Cut and Play: Cut out all cards and use them for matching pairs, encouraging memory skills by flipping them face-down for a fun matching game. Storytelling: Have children create short Halloween-themed stories based on the characters’ expressions. Sets: Children can collect sets e.g. happy characters and angry characters. This provides a versatile resource for emotional recognition, creativity, and group activities!
