Butterfly Conservation has some scarily fun activities for the kids this half term

Need some inspiration for half term activities? Embrace spooky season with Butterfly Conservation's top five weird, wild, and wonderful things to do this October half term. 1. Spooky half term activities: carve a butterfly or moth pumpkin Get ready for spooky season by carving a butterfly-or moth-inspired pumpkin as half term activities.

Simply head over to the Butterfly Conservation website and pick a butterfly or moth, copy their outline onto your pumpkin and cut out your design! If you want to make things more detailed, print out a picture, trace the butterfly or moth using tracing paper and thick pencil, and transfer it onto your pumpkin. Then it's time to get carving! Share your designs with Butterfly Conservation on their social media channels @savebutterflies 2.
