Halloween Crafts For Kids

Halloween is just around the corner and kids will enjoy making some fun decorations or treat buckets to celebrate the holiday.  After-all, carrying around their very own homemade bucket for trick or treating is a fun way to show off their creative work!

There are so many kid friendly ideas floating around but I narrowed it down to just the top five projects that will be sure to get kids excited about crafting!

Here is the list that I came up with:

1.  HALLOWEEN NOISE MAKERS:
To get the party going, these noise makers by Fave Crafts are an excellent idea.  Recycled concentrated juice containers and some dowel are the main ingredients to this fun craft.  Kids will love decorating the noise makers and filling the containers with all kinds of different nuts and bolts to make the most noise.  Make sure to check out the tutorial for this one by clicking on the link.

2.  SPOOKY SPIDERS
kids love scary things and to scare each other....or mom!  So...these spooky spiders are sure to be a hit.  With pipe cleaners and pony beads, She Knows shows just how to create these creepy crawlers.

3.  STICKER PUMPKINS
Instead of carving pumpkins, which can be difficult for little kids, try decorating with stickers like these cuties from Babble!  This is a fun and easy way for kids to get involved safely with a popular Halloween festivity.


4.   YUMMY MUMMY TREAT CUPS
Kids will love eating their treats from their own homemade mummy treat cups!  Head over to Kaboose to see just how easy it is to create these festive containers!

5.  RECYCLED TRICK OR TREAT CONTAINER
And finally, kids will trick or treat in style with their very own container made from a recycled milk jug.  I just love recycled crafts!  The jug has an easy handle for carrying and is perfect for decorating in any way a child chooses.  This simple idea was put together by Amazing Moms.

Happy Halloween!
