You’ve been asking for Halloween crafts and I have some unbelievably easy and kid friendly ideas for you!
These adorable Halloween craft ideas are featured on the Crafters 4 Kids website, with basic step-by-step instructions that you and your children will be able to follow without any trouble. Get the materials together that you will need, set some family time aside, and have some fun!
Help your child design their own pumpkin treat bag out of orange and black foam and then let them choose whether they want to save it for trick-or-treat night or give it to someone as a gift. Send one to the teacher at school with a handful of candies inside. They are also cute enough to hang by the green pipe cleaners on a door or a wall, too.
Another adorable (*ahem* I mean scary) decoration on the Crafters 4 Kids list is a spider attached to a spider web, complete with red eyes and silvery glitter. Attach a gray pipe cleaner to the top of the web, just like the pumpkin treat bag’s green pipe cleaner, and let your kids choose a spot to hang it where everyone can see it.
These furry little goblins are made with Styrofoam balls and marabou. Top the kitchen table with a few of these little spooky goblins or set them on the front porch to scare away the other ghouls. You can also let your kids play with these little monsters as their new Halloween friends.
Think ahead and wrap some candy in the middle of this firecracker decoration and you have a great treat for trick-or-treaters or the children in your child’s classroom. Made as a single decoration, this little Halloween Firecracker Treat is another colorful table topper. You can place one in the center of the table or several for a cute and festive display.
You don’t have to worry about elastic band masks that squish you or your kid’s face this year. This pumpkin mask is innovatively attached to a visor, which allows plenty of breathing room. It’s also made of foam, so it’s softer on the face than rubber or plastic masks.
Crafts like these create the chance to spend some quality time with your children during the Halloween season. Enjoy accomplishing a project together that can be used as decorations around the house or given to teachers or friends as a gift. Happy crafting and have a safe Halloween!
