Easy Halloween Crafts for Kids

Whether you’re looking for a craft for the classroom or a Halloween craft you can do at home even if you’re not crafty, these easy Halloween crafts for kids offer some great options. 

If you want to keep it super simple, print out and color these Halloween masks from It’s Always Autumn. Options include a cat, pumpkin, Frankenstein’s monster and a dia de los muertos style sugar skull. Just print, color, cut out and you’re ready for a Halloween parade. 

Or do some cute color by number printables like these from Tot Schooling. Color a pumpkin, witch, Frankenstein’s monster or bats and use them to decorate the classroom. 

Crafts by Amanda has this cute and classic paper plate black cat project, which comes with a printable template. Older kids can be shown the shape you’re going for and cut out their own if you’d rather. 

Also in the category of crafts you can make with things you probably already have in the house are these cute paper bag monsters from I Heart Crafty Things. If you give kids paint, paper and eyes they are sure to come up with fun versions of these all on their own, which would make a great classroom display.

Easy Peasy and Fun has another take on Halloween puppets with these printable puppets for a skeleton, witch, pumpkin and vampire. Print, color and cut out for some easy fun. 

If you want a slightly more involved but still pretty easy fall or Halloween craft, check out these Popsicle stick creations from Life Beyond Laundry. Her post shows a witch, scarecrow and pumpkin, but you could make other things like a cat, Frankenstein’s monster or whatever characters the kids like. 

Speaking of Frankenstein’s monster, I love these monster luminaries from Crafts by Amanda. They’re so easy to make and a little creepy cute. This one, too, could be remixed a bunch of different ways to make a pumpkin, witch or something else cute. These could also be used as vases or for storage if you don’t want to light them up. 

Or try painting rocks to look like monsters or other Halloween creatures with this craft idea from The Inspiration Edit. All you need is rocks, paint, googly eyes and glue to make a bunch of fun and funny monsters.
