Fun Halloween Craft Ideas
Kids always have fun making crafts, especially holiday-themed crafts. Here are some fun Halloween craft ideas for your kids to make this year.
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.
Ghost Wind Socks
These spooky decorations are perfect for the front porch! Here's what you'll need to make them:
* Small white poster board
* Black permanent marker
* Stapler
* Glue
* White crepe paper streamers
* String, yarn or twine
1. Draw a ghost face on the white poster board using the black marker.
2. Roll the poster board into a tube shape and staple the overlapping ends together securely.
3. Cut long strips out of the crepe streamers. Glue or staple them all around the bottom of the wind sock.
4. Cut a piece of string about 2 1/2 feet long and staple the ends to opposite sides of the top of the wind sock to hang.

* Construction paper (orange and black are good colors)
* Glue
* Scissors
* Markers
1. Fold a piece of construction paper in half to make a card shape.
2. Make a 2 1/2 inch cut perpendicular to the fold, about 2 1/2 inches from the edge. Make another 2 1/2 inch cut 1/2 inch from that one, and make two more cuts 2 1/2 and 3 inches from the other side. This will leave two narrow flaps in the card.
3. Open the card and push the flaps up into the inside of it. Close the card and press with the flaps to the inside so that they are creased.
4. Cut two ghosts, spiders, or other scary items out of construction paper. Open the card and glue each one onto the front of one of the folded flaps.
5. Glue another piece of construction paper to the outside of your card, taking care not to glue where the flaps are. Let dry.
6. Using markers, write a message on the card.
Paper Plate Masks
* Paper plate
* Elastic
* Scissors
* Hole Punch
* Markers
* Glue
* Sequins, pom-poms or other embellishments (optional)
1. Use markers to decorate the back side of a paper plate. Be sure to make the eyes big enough to see out of.
2. Cut out the eyes.
3. Add embellishments if desired.
4. Use the hole punch to make a hole in each side of the mask, taking care to keep them even.
5. Cut enough elastic to secure the mask to the wearer's head, plus a couple of extra inches. Thread each end through one of the holes you just made and tie it securely.
