Halloween crafts for kids are super fun because quite honestly, it doesn’t matter if the end product is a bit…scary. Those little mishaps and creative differences just enhance the frightening appearance. Here are a few of my favorite easy Halloween crafts.
Easy Halloween Crafts for Kids
- Halloween Night Light Kids Can Make – This simple project upcycles an Ovaltine container with a little tissue paper and kid-friendly glue sealer. Add an LED tap light and you have the perfect night light to scare monsters out from under the bed.
- Halloween Ring Shaker – All those little non-candy trinkets picked up during trick-or-treating can be used to create a really cute toy.
- Halloween Math Games – OK, I know that the thought of injecting a math lesson into Halloween celebrations might be a bit scary, but this is a simple way to make good use of all that candy for a simple math memory game that kids will actually want to play!
- Halloween Jack-O-Lantern Art Project – This paper craft for kids is easy and can be done with even the littlest participants. Use a coffee filter to create the “glow” behind the pumpkin’s not-so-frightening face.
- Homemade Scratch-and-Sniff Paint – Use the colors of Halloween to turn this simple paint recipe into a festive holiday craft for kids.
- Easy Halloween Cookies to Make Together – These 20 Halloween cookie ideas all start with pre-prepared sugar cookie dough. Shhh…don’t tell anyone, but I buy mine at the store.
- Paper Plate Spider Craft – This super cute spider {yes, I used super and cute in the same sentence as spider} can be made as Halloween decorations or just because it is fun.
- Paper Pumpkins – These little Halloween pumpkins can be created from paper with just a twist or two. Little hands will love getting into the action.
- Melting Witch Play Dough – This is a great alternative to giving candy at Halloween, but also a really fun craft and activity to do at home.
- Ghostly Footprints – Make some adorably haunting memories with these ghosts based on footprints and a bit of white paint. Create a ghost family each year to chart growth at a scary rate!
When it comes to doing crafts with kids, it is really more about having fun doing something together!
