These easy Halloween crafts are great for decorating the classroom or using around the house in the fall.
Ghosts are a fun and easy shape to make in lots of different ways, but I like the way this one allows kids to make unique ghost shapes with blow painting. Learn how with this tutorial from Crafty Morning.
Finger-painted monsters are another fun craft for younger kiddos, which can turn into a mixed-media project with the addition of googly eyes, yarn, paper hair, whatever your kids want to add. See how to do this at Toddler Approved.
Or how about a shape monster? Live Well Play Together has this cute idea that helps kids learn shapes while making funny monsters to decorate for Halloween.
Little kids might need help with the cutting on this paper plate jack o’lantern project, but even little ones can do most of the work of painting and drawing the face. I love the idea of adding an LED candle; you could have a whole jack o’lantern display right in your classroom! This DIY is from Easy Peasy and Fun.
It doesn’t get any easier that these paper plate wreaths kids help make by adding holiday stickers. This idea would work for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, or really any time of year with any theme of stickers you have handy. Check it out at My Bored Toddler.
Paper snowflakes are a classic winter craft, but why not make paper spider webs, too? The method is similar, you’re just cutting out chunks in lines instead of making other shapes. Get the instructions from One Little Project.
Speaking of spiderwebs, you can also make them with craft sticks and yarn. This might be easier for little kids without the scissors skills, and it’s a great fine motor activity. Find this one at Buggy and Buddy.
