Halloween Crafts For Kids

I’ve included Halloween craft ideas for kids that cover a broad age range so no one gets left out of the fun.

Paper Plate Bat Craft

How cute is this happy little vampire bat?! And it couldn’t be easier, especially with the free printable template. This simple craft only requires black paint, glue stick, a paper plate and the free printable. Once completed this makes a great Halloween decoration to add a bit of spooky fun to your home.

Festive Pumpkin Paper Plate Craft

Here’s another super cute and easy paper plate craft that doesn’t require expensive or extensive supplies.

Halloween Ghost Craft: Toilet Paper Roll Ghost

Handprint crafts are simply the best, am I right?! They add a bit of sentimental flair to any craft. Anytime I come across an old craft with my child’s handprints, I marvel at those tiny hands. How were my girls ever that small? As a mom with grown children, I can guarantee you, you’ll never regret spending time making fun memories with your kids. And now I enjoy doing many of the same crafts with my grandkids! Friends, take some time today and make those memories!

This easy craft does require you to save toilet paper rolls, so ask friends and family to help out if you need a lot of toilet paper rolls, and plan ahead.

Mason Jar Lid Pumpkins

You’re going to love these Mason Jar Lid Pumpkins from downredbudlane.com! This great Halloween craft is perfect for kids (and adults) of all ages. They’re so easy and soooooo cute!

Halloween Slime

Any kind of slime is a huge hit around our house! This orange Halloween slime from Mom Life Made Easy is a perfect craft for spooky season and one of my all time favorite easy Halloween crafts.

Tie Dye T-Shirts

While this one will probably require adult supervision or help from one of the older kids, it’s worth the mess and extra effort! Check out this tutorial from tiedyeyoursummer.com! You can do traditional Halloween colors such as orange and yellow or just let the kids go wild and make whatever they want! Here is the tie dye kit we used and loved.

Haunted Halloween Gingerbread House

This is a fun craft from start to finish. We have done this craft project a couple of different ways. One is all of the kids working together to create one epic and awesome Haunted Halloween Gingerbread House. And the other is each family member making their own unique creation. Either way, you’re going to have so much fun with this one!

Apple Stamping Pumpkin Craft

Okay Friends, how cute are these apple stamp pumpkins?! The googly eyes make this one a little silly and therefore perfect for some not-so-spooky fun! Everyone will want to get in on this craft action so be sure to have enough supplies for all.

DIY Halloween Treat Bag Activity

Forget the plastic grocery sack or old pillow case for a Halloween night of trick-or-treating and make this awesome Halloween treat bag with your kids. After Halloween it can be used for a reusable grocery bag or put away to be used every Halloween.

Halloween Handprint Art

I think we’ve already established that I love handprint crafts, I mean look at those adorable little handprints! This is another one of those simple projects that is easy and doesn’t require a lot of supplies or work. I love this one and I think you will too!
