Fall means more inside time for the little ones. Naturally,
they’re going to need something fun and creative to keep
them busy. Help your kids prepare for Halloween by constructing
these adorable craft projects! They’re easy and fun to make
and the kiddos will love displaying them for the holiday.
Egg Carton Spiders
What you will need:
Cardboard egg carton
Pipe cleaners
Poster paint
Elastic thread
Something to poke small holes
Instructions:
Cut the egg cups out of a cardboard egg carton. Cut pipe cleaners
into 3 inch sections. To make each spider, poke four pipe cleaners
through each cup sideways. Bend the ends to look like eight spider
legs. Paint the spiders black or in any wildly creative way you
want! After the paint has dried, attach a length of elastic thread
to the middle of each spider. Have fun holding your thread and
bouncing your scary spider up and down as you take it for a walk!
Plastic Bag Ghost
What you’ll need:
White plastic trash bags
Black marker
Balloons
Some string
Scissors
Masking tape
Instructions:
Blow up/inflate the balloons and cover each one with a trash bag.
With the string, gather and tie each bag under the balloon to
make a head. Using your markers, draw a spooky face on the trash
bag. Be as creative as you can-make a scary face or a funny face.
Whatever you want! Attach a piece of string to the
top of your ghosts and display them all around your house and
yard.
