Easy Halloween Crafts

Looking for a simple art project for the coming weeks?  I've got you covered!  Below are a few favorites 

Puffy Ghosts

These cotton ball ghosts are SO easy and quick!  Grab the download for the ghost template and face HERE, at Thriving Home Blog.  I have 23 kids and it took us 3 1/2 bags of 200 count cotton balls.  I didn't give my kids a limit; I just set the cotton balls out and told them to come get a small handful as they needed.  *We used Elmer's glue bottles for this project.

Paper Plate Pumpkins

To make these simple pumpkins, get the cheap paper plates and some orange paint.  You will also need some scraps of black and brown construction paper.  Kids paint their plates orange, add faces, and stems.  Easy!!

Paper Plate Spiders

These are a bit more complicated.  We used small, black dessert plates for this.  I gave my kids tape, google eyes, glue, silver glitter, and silver pipe cleaners.  They added 8 legs and as many eyes as they wanted.  

The Little Green Witch

This craft goes specifically with the adorable book, The Little Green Witch. We read the book, as well as The Little Red Hen and then compare/contrast the two stories.  We also do some of the other Literacy activities included.  

Frank

These fun Frankenstein and Mrs. Frankenstein craft is from First and Kinder Blue Skies.  We used paint to make it a bit more interesting!  The best part of this craft is that it's FREE!

Craft Stick Spider Web

This is a great craft to do as part of your Halloween party.  These are great to make if you have parent helpers or a small class.  Just grab some large craft sticks, white yarn, and plastic spiders.  

Ghost

The final craft is this ghost craft from Crafty Bee Creations.  I love her crafts...tracing, cutting, and gluing are great fine motor practice!  This craft is also FREE!

Happy Crafting!
