Kids always have fun making crafts, especially holiday-themed crafts. Here are some fun and easy Halloween craft ideas for your kids to make this year. There is no better way to enjoy the holidays than by making crafts with your kids.
1. Trick-or-Treat Bucket
Supplies:
ice cream bucket, construction paper, markers, crayons, glue, glitter (any craft supplies)
Directions:
Use construction paper to draw ghosts, pumpkins, scarecrows, etc. Cut out your decorations and glue them to the outside of an ice cream bucket.
2. Trick-or-Treat Goody Bags
Supplies:
small brown paper bags, Halloween stickers, markers, treats (candy, pencils, erasers, bubblegum, etc.)
Directions:
Decorate paper bags in Halloween themes using your art supplies. Put treats inside bags. Fold the top of the bag down and tape shut with a Halloween sticker.
3. Tiny Pumpkins
Supplies:
acorns, orange paint, and green paint
Directions:
Lay acorns on a sheet of newspaper. Paint the bottom of the acorns with orange paint. After the orange paint dries, paint the top of the acorns green (for the stem of the pumpkin). Allow to dry thoroughly.
4. Spooky Spiders
Supplies:
black construction paper, cotton balls or cotton stuffing, black pipe cleaners, small bowl or saucer, and a stapler
Directions:
Using black construction paper, trace around a small bowl or saucer. (Cut out two circles per spider.) Place stuffing or cotton balls on first circle. Lay second circle on top of cotton stuffing and staple half-way around. Insert 3-4” pipe cleaners on each side, then staple the second half of the circles together. Bend pipe cleaners to make the “legs” of the spider.
5. Halloween Ghost Pops
Supplies:
lollipops (I like tootsie pops!),napkins,pipe cleaners or twist ties,a marker
Directions:
Open a napkin and drape it over the lollipop. Take a pipe cleaner or twistie tie and wrap it right below the lollipop securing the napkin in place to the stick. With the marker, make two eyes on the top of the napkin over the candy part of the lollipop. Does it look like a ghost? It should!
