Halloween Craft FAQ
Easy Halloween crafts are quick and simple DIY projects that can be completed with minimal preparation and basic crafting materials that you already have on hand. Some examples include:
Paper Plate Ghosts: Using a white paper plate, black and white construction paper, and a white tissue paper streamer, children can make a ghost using the paper plate as the ghost’s face and cut out shapes from the construction paper for the ghost’s eyes, mouth and arms. Then attach the streamers to the bottom of the paper plate and hang it from the ceiling!
Toilet Paper Mummies: Wrap toilet paper rolls with white yarn or bandages. Glue on a pair of googly eyes, and voila – you have a cute little mummy!
Pumpkin Painting: Instead of carving pumpkins this year, try painting fun designs onto pumpkins using acrylic paints or spray paint with stencils.
