Halloween arts and crafts for kids
from:One of the most fun of the Halloween holiday is making things to decorate your home, and finding Halloween arts and crafts for kids to make with your children can be just as fun as making the crafts themselves. There are all sorts of web sites on the Internet that give you many ideas for Halloween arts and crafts for kids. When you use a little imagination and creativity, you may be surprised at what you can make! Here are a couple of Halloween arts and crafts for kids to get you started.
This is one of easiest of the Halloween arts and crafts for kids that we were able to find – and it is very creative! It is a glue ghost necklace. For this project, you will need a paper clip, white glue, wax paper, black paper circles for eyes or googly eyes, and string or yarn. Working on the wax paper, spread out a white blob of glue into the shape of a ghost. Unfold the paper clip into a “v” shape for a hanger and place the ends of the paper clip into the head of the ghost. Put the black paper or googly eyes onto the ghost where they should be and then leave it to dry. It will probably take a couple of days to dry, and the glue should become transparent. Gently peel the ghost off of the wax paper and work the string through the hanger tying at the back.
The next project we found in Halloween arts and crafts for kids is a clothespin bat. You’ll need a spring clothespin, black construction paper or black fun foam, scissors, googly eyes or colored paper circles, and glue. Here is a pattern for you to use for the two pieces you will need to construct your bat. Make sure the pieces are big enough to cover the clothespin:
First, glue the wings on the flat side of the clothespin. Then add the body on top of the wings. Glue on the googly eyes or colored construction paper eyes. Leave to dry and you have one of many very easy Halloween arts and crafts for kids. Clip these bats anywhere you want to – all over the house or classroom, on the edge of tables, curtains – anywhere your imagination can come up with.
Our favorite web site for Halloween arts and crafts for kids is www.enchantedlearning.com. It is full of all sorts of craft ideas for kids and especially Halloween arts and crafts for kids. Check them out and then have a blast making these crafts with your child!
