There’s more to Halloween than just trick-or-treating. It’s a spooky, imaginative day where kids (and adults!) can show off their favorite costumes while decking out their homes in eerie yet fun All Hallows’ Eve decorations. But when it comes to keeping little ones entertained before the candy search kicks off, consider adding the below Halloween crafts to the mix.
We have a creative range of family-oriented crafts for toddlers, kindergartners and ghouls and gals of all ages. Think painted pumpkins, paper plate spiders, skeleton garlands and googly-eyed veggie monsters. Some of these DIYs even double as decor (bleach pen napkins and spider-webbed placemats are just a few fun examples). Other crafts on the list make for cool Halloween games — ever played pumpkin tic-tac-toe? Even better, many of the crafts are budget-friendly and can be made with basic craft supplies like craft sticks, pool noodles, pipe cleaners and construction paper. And did we mention they’re incredibly easy to make with adult supervision?
As you browse through these creative DIYs, we hope they delight the Halloween-loving crafter in you too! You might even want to try your hands at these Halloween crafts for adults or recreate a homemade Halloween costume with a friend.
