Get Creative with These Fun and Easy Halloween Crafts for Kids!
Halloween is a time for spooky fun, but it’s also a great opportunity for kids to get creative with their hands! These easy and fun Halloween crafts will not only entertain your little ones but also help them create their own spook-tacular decorations. No need for a lot of expensive supplies—just simple materials and a little imagination!
1. Spooky Handprint Bats
This craft is as easy as it is fun! All you need is some black paint, a sheet of paper, and your child's hand. Simply paint your child's hand, press it on the paper to create a handprint, then add bat wings and a spooky face to turn the handprint into a bat. It’s a perfect craft for younger kids!
Pro Tip: Display the bats on a wall or window for a fun Halloween scene.
2. Pumpkin Paper Lanterns
Give kids the chance to make their very own pumpkin lanterns! Use orange construction paper to create pumpkin shapes, then help the kids add creepy faces with black markers. After that, roll the paper into a lantern shape and glue the edges. Add a tea light (battery-operated for safety!) inside, and voila! These glowing pumpkins will light up the Halloween night.
3. DIY Witch’s Broom
Help your kids make their own witch's broom with simple materials like a popsicle stick, brown construction paper, and string. Cut the construction paper into strips and attach them to one end of the popsicle stick. Then, wrap the string around the top to hold it all together. Your little witches will love flying around with their DIY brooms!
4. Ghost Lollipops
This craft is both fun and delicious! Wrap a piece of white fabric (like a napkin or tissue) around a lollipop and tie it off with a piece of string to create a ghost. Add a little face with a marker to bring your ghost to life. Not only will the kids love making these, but they’ll enjoy eating them afterward too!
5. Paper Plate Spiders
Make your own creepy crawlers with paper plates and black pipe cleaners! Start by cutting a paper plate in half to make the body of the spider. Then, glue on eight black pipe cleaners for the legs, and give your spider some googly eyes to finish it off. These little creatures are perfect for hanging around the house!
6. Halloween Candy Corn Necklaces
Use colorful candy corn to make cute, festive necklaces! Simply string the candy corn onto a piece of yarn, and tie it off to make a wearable Halloween craft. This one’s perfect for little hands and makes a great gift or party favor!
7. Spider Web Art
Kids can create their own spooky spider webs with just black construction paper, white chalk, and a bit of creativity. Draw a big spider web on the paper, and let the kids fill it in with chalk. To finish, add little plastic spiders for extra creepiness!
