While you are making your homemade Halloween costumes, why not get the kids involved with these easy Halloween crafts for kids. Young kids may need assistance with these so make sure an adult is supervising these crafts.

1. Spooky Spiders

Supplies: black construction paper, black pipe cleaners, cotton balls or cotton stuffing, small saucer or bowl.
Directions: Trace a circle onto the black construction paper with a small bowl or saucer. (You will need to cut out two circles per spider.) Place cotton balls or stuffing on top of the first circle, then lay the second circle on top of the cotton stuffing and staple the circle half-way around. Insert three 4″ pipe cleaners on each side of spider, then staple the second half of the circles together. Bend the pipe cleaners at an angle to make the spider “legs”.

2. Trick-or-Treat Goody Bags

Supplies: small brown paper lunch bags, Halloween stickers, treats (candy, pencils, erasers, bubblegum, etc.), markers or other art supplies
Directions: Decorate the paper bags however you like with your art supplies. Add treats to the bags then fold the top of the bag down and tape shut with a Halloween sticker.

3. Trick-or-Treat Bucket

Supplies: ice cream bucket, construction paper, crayons, markers, glitter, glue (any craft supplies you like)
Directions: Draw ghosts, pumpkins, scarecrows, etc onto construction paper. Cut out decorations and glue to the outside of an ice cream bucket.

4. Tiny Pumpkins

Supplies: acorns, green paint and orange paint, newspaper
Directions: spread newspaper and lay acorn on top of newspaper. Paint the bottom of the acorns with orange paint. Wait for the paint to dry, then paint the top of the acorns green (this is the ’stem’ of the pumpkin). Allow paint to dry thoroughly.
