HALLOWEEN ARTS AND CRAFTS FOR TODDLERS

I gotta admit- doing crafts with my kids on a daily basis simply doesn’t happen. For holidays like Halloween though? BRING. IT. ON. 

Give me ALLLL the Halloween crafts! We will do them, and do them happily. Especially if I’m sipping my pumpkin spice latte- bliss!

Juuust kidding- crafts in our house are usually a chaotic whirlwind and pumpkin spice lattes are to be drunk cold and in place of lunch later if they’re even remembered. Sigh.

Onto the crafts!

This list of crafts is better suited to kids of preschool age. They’re easy, fun and totally do-able! Have fun with your kids creating these awesome Halloween crafts!

Halloween Paper Plate Spider Craft

I LOVE this craft. Why? It's no fail. Like seriously, you cannot mess this up! And I've messed up many a craft in my day. The materials are simple, you probably have them on hand. If you don't have black paint, use a black marker! You can even color some paper black if you don't have black construction paper. OR make a brand new rainbow spider. Don't let the black deter you ?

Paper Bag Monster Puppets

Paper Bag Monster Puppets require paper bags, acrylic paint, colored card stock paper, scissors, markers, circle punches, glue and a big dash of creativity! There's a lot of things you can switch out if you don't have it- like the cardstock paper, just use construction paper if you don't have that. These are super cute and fun to make!

Ever wonder what the hell to do with the toilet paper roll when you're done with it? (other than throw it in the trash?)

If your kids are younger, you may have to do the drawing for the accessories.

Paint Splat Witch's Cauldron

For Paint Splat Witch's Cauldrons, you may have to hit up a dollar store to get some foam cauldrons and puffy craft paint! Worth it, definitely worth it. You'll also need white cardstock, scissors, school glue and baby wipes. The rhinestones and glitter are optional- are they though?

Your kids will have a blast with this one and there is minimal work for you mom or dad!
