Halloween arts and crafts
from:If you are like me and my friends, we love celebrating and decorating for Halloween which is why Halloween arts and crafts projects are especially close to our hearts. We love to come up with new and scary ideas to transform our homes into scary haunted houses with bats, ghosts, cobwebs, and witches adorning both the inside and the outside of the house. Halloween arts and crafts projects provide great opportunities for you to interact with your children and teach them how to make something out of practically nothing. Here are a couple of our favorite projects:
If you have bushes in front of your house, you just might become the talk of the neighborhood with this Halloween arts and crafts project we found. Take an ordinary white bed sheet (the size will depend on the size of your bushes). Fold the sheet in half and place newspaper in between the fold. You can either use a permanent black magic marker or black fabric paint to draw a ghost face on the sheet. Your ghost can be scary or funny or you can have a couple of each depending on how many bushes you have! Then drape the sheet over the bush and secure it in the back with clothespins so that it is tight around the bush.
I really love this next Halloween arts and crafts project because you can use these to decorate outside. You will need a plain white lid (such as from a margarine container, 3 black construction paper circles for eyes and a mouth, 2 white plastic grocery sacks or trash bags, 2 white pipe cleaners, glue, scissors, tape, black yarn, and a hole punch.
Start by gluing eyes and mouth on the front of the lid. If the lid isn’t completely white, you can paint it so that it is. If you are using grocery sacks, cut off the handles and any writing. Lay them on a flat surface and use scissors to shred 2 inch strips up from the bottom leaving at least a 1 inch area intact next to the seam. Glue a pip cleaner stem into the seam. Turn the lid over. Bend and insert the pipe cleaner/seam into the ridge around the bottom half of the lid and tape to secure into place. Repeat this with a second sack and pipe cleaner inserting the ridge around the upper half of the lid. Punch a hold through the top of the lid and thread a length of yarn through the hole to hang. You may prefer to have a loop at the end of a foot and a half so your children can hold onto them and run making it look like they are being chased by a ghost! You can also hang from trees so they blow in the breeze!
These are only a few of the Halloween arts and crafts projects my friends and I like to make. You can find many more fun Halloween arts and crafts on the Internet. Above all, when you are making Halloween arts and crafts, just be creative, inventive, and have fun!
