Halloween Crafts for kids to make
Here are several projects for the kids to make on
Halloween. In addition, at the end of
this post are two games the kids can make with the craft projects.
Witchy
Pen
Materials: black pen with cap, black felt, craft glue,
scissors, sequin piece, ruler googly eyes, and red and green yarn
Directions:
Cut out a 2 inch circle from the black felt. This will be the brim of the hat.
Cut an X into the center of the circle. Easy way is to fold
the circle in ½ and then cut. This is so
the top of the pen can come though the hat.
Slide the circle ½ ways down the cap of the pen. Again this is the brim.
Now for the face which will be on the opposite of the pen cap
from the clip. Glue the googly eyes in place.
Then glue the sequin piece as the nose
Cut tiny pieces of red yarn and then unravel one strand for
the mouth; then glue in place.
Cut several 2 inch pieces of green yarn. Glue the yarn under the hat as hair for the
witch on the sides of the cap.
Floating
Ghost Cup
Materials: white tissue paper, small clear plastic soda
bottle, craft glue, scissors, ruler, and googly eyes
Directions:
Cut off the top half of the soda bottle leaving 4 inches from
the bottom of the bottle. However you
still need to be cutting a 1 inches spiral band around the rim, going around
only once. The band should still be
attached to the bottom, which will contain the candy.
Round off the cut end of the band. Pull the band up and away from the bottle
bottom.
Cut 6 inch square of tissue paper.
Glue the tissue paper over the rounded end of the band to look
like a ghost floating above the container.
Glue the googly eyes on the head of the ghost. Fill with candy!!
Spider
Race (Game to keep the busy)
Materials: Scissor, ruler, four small googly eyes, craft glue, straw,
black craft paint, two black pom-poms, sixteen twisty ties, masking tape,
string, two flip-top lids from salad dressing, and paint brush
Directions:
To make the each spider, open the lid and place the end of eight
ends twisty ties in to the cap; so they stick out on each side to form the legs
of the spider. Glue them in place and
secure them with masking tape. Close the
lid.
Bend the legs in the middle to from the knees. Bend the ends to form the feet.
Glue the black pom-poms between the legs on one side of the
cap for the head. Glue two googly eyes on
the head.
Cut a inch piece of straw and glue the piece to the back of
the spider. Secure the straw with
masking tape.
You can paint the spider with the black paint or leave them
the color of the original lid.
How to
play the Game:
Cut two 10 foot lengths out of the string. Tie one end of each string to the bottom of a
chair leg. Slide the spider onto the
other end of each string through the straw on the back. At the signal to start, both spiders can be
released to slide down the string. The
first spider to reach the end is the WINNER!!
Note: Additional line
can be added to include more spiders in the race.
Pumpkin
Numbers Game
Materials: five bottle tops, orange craft paint, paint
brush, craft glue, scissors, scraps of black and green construction paper, and paper
cup
Directions:
Cut five black circles from the construction paper to fit inside
of the cap and glue.
Mix a few drops of glue with the orange paint in a paper cup. Paint the top of the five lids with the
paint.
With the black construction paper cut out eyes and mouth out
of the paper for the five lids and glue in place. Then cut five stems out of the green construction
paper and glue. Let dry.
How to
play the Game:
Take turns tossing the pumpkins on the floor or table. For each pumpkin that lands face showing, you
get one point. You do not get a point for
a pumpkin that lands face down. Keep track
of how many points each player gets by writing score down on a piece of paper. After five turns each, the player with the
most points wins.
