Halloween Crafts and Ideas!

Halloween time offers such fun opportunities for unique crafts and activities!  I have highlighted the activities and crafts that my kids have really enjoyed!

My daughter loved painting her own paper plate pumpkin!  Super simple craft for even the youngest of kids, just pain or color your paper plate orange and add a stem!

I created this Hundreds Chart puzzle for my daughter with a pumpkin patch theme!  She has enjoyed putting it together over and over!

We have a Halloween tradition where each kid gets to paint their own pumpkin.  My five year old did the purple one on the left, the 2 year old made the one on the right and I painted the one in the middle for the baby.  They will remain on our bar until Halloween when we place them outside for the trick-or-treaters.  Then they will go back on our counter until they are no longer good.

Another pumpkin activity we did was this pumpkin mosaic.  My daughter insisted on making a pattern out of her colored squares.  This is a great activity where students can tear their own squares from strips of paper or they can practice cutting skills by cutting the squares from the strips themselves!

 My boys attend MOPS twice a month.  This is one of the art projects they did with my older boy.  They simply glued corn candy onto a tree outline!  Looks like someone just drew it with a sharpie and copied the page.  Simple, but fun!  I wonder how many candy corns were eaten verses what actually made it onto the paper!

Another art activity they did in MOPS was this cute necklace.  They took string and cut black and orange straws to make beads!  My son has wanted to wear it all day!

My kids loved making this spider craft!  Simply cut out the spider pattern and color it black (or whatever color you want your spider).  Then use black construction paper and cut one sheet into eight strips.  Fold the strips back and forth to form the wiggly legs.  Staple, tape or glue the legs to your spider.  Tie a string to the back of the spider to hang from the ceiling!

We made these fun paper plate spider webs!  Start this project by cutting small slits all around the paper plate, about 1 inch apart.  Cut a long piece of yarn and have students wrap it around the plate, tucking it in the slits as they wrap it around to create these unique little crafts.  Add a spider for fun!

The tissue paper ghost are a great decoration to hang from the ceiling.  Simply ball up one sheet of paper and place it in the center of a sheet of tissue paper.  Wrap the tissue paper around the the paper ball and tie with yarn or string. then hang!  It is that easy!  A face is not necessary, but my little one wanted to add one!

These mummies turned out so cute!  I provided my kids with the mummy outline and one I gave white paper to cut into strips and the other I gave masking tape to tear.  They both loved making their mummies!
