As I mentioned in
this post, we are
huge "Wheels on the Bus" fans. So we were super excited to get
The Spooky Wheels On The Bus
and we were not disappointed! It's the traditional song with a Halloween twist. Plus, there's some simple counting. "One spooky bus goes RATTLE and SHAKE, Two white wipers go CREAK, CREAK, CREAK, Three noisy cats go MEOW HISS HISS..."
We used an egg carton to make our own bus. It's loosely based on the version
here. We just painted the top of an egg carton with some glittery yellow paint.
Then we added clip art in the "windows" of some of the different characters riding the bus in the book. We also used clip art pumpkins for the wheels just like in the book. Then I wrote "Ghoul Bus" on the top which is not in the story, but I couldn't resist.

I love the 'ghoul bus', what a lovely idea... my kids love creating things like this :)
That book would make a read Halloween read-sing aloud. The jack-o'-lantern tires on the ghoul bus made me smile! What an adorable craft. And the holes in the egg carton really do look like windows.
Awesome repurposing with the egg carton! Thanks for linking to Things I've Done Thursday.

My little guy is probably too young for this this year but this is probably one of the cutest Halloween projects I've seen this season! Great idea!
What a darling idea! Totally pinning this right now!
Oh my goodness! What a wonderful idea and so creative. My little guy used to be obsessed with buses!
