Fun Halloween Crafts

Halloween and all it brings is so exciting for kids and adults too! The leaves are changing, its getting cooler outside and darker earlier which leads us to thoughts of how to dress and decorate for Halloween!  We found some adorable and easy Halloween crafts to do with the kids to put everyone in the spirit of the season and to help decorate the house!  Make these at home with the kids, for a class Halloween party or your have your own Halloween party and let the kids make these fun crafts!

Save your toilet paper rolls, purchase white and black construction paper, glue, tape, white yarn, scissors, 12-inch pipe cleaners (black), lollipops, and googly eyes for these next few crafts!

Mummy Craft (black construction paper, white yarn, googly eyes, glue, scissors, tape)

• Use black construction paper and cut out a gingerbread man figure
• Glue on googly eyes
• Cut small slits around the figure to help with wrapping
• Tape the end of your white yarn to the back of the paper (at the top) and wrap the yarn around the face. Leave a space for the eyes.  Wrap the mummy all the way down and wrap each leg.
• Tape the end of the yarn onto the back of the mummy.

Spider Suckers  lollipops, 12 inch pipe cleaners in black , small googly eyes, scissors/wire cutters, glue)

• Each spider has two pipe cleaners for legs.  Cut your pipe cleaners in half so you have 4 legs on each side.
• Align the 4 pipe cleaner pieces and place a lollipop in the center.
• Wrap 1 side of the pipe cleaner all the way around the lollipop stem then pull tight.
• Flip the sucker over and separate the “legs”.
• Bend the ends to create little feet and position the legs.
• Place a little glue onto the back of the googly eyes and place them on your spider.
