Handprint Witch

This is a great Halloween craft idea for younger kids, because all they need to do is decorate their handprint with paper.

And because the main material is paper, it’s a great craft activity to do if you have excess paper at home that you want to use up.

Egg Box Bats

Younger kids will love this activity, because it doesn’t involve anything above their developmental skill levels.

All you need for this activity is an egg box, black paint, googly eyes, ribbon or string, and scissors. If you don’t have googly eyes, you could easily make some out of paper.

Puffy Ghosts

I love this Halloween crafts for kids idea, because it doesn’t require a lot of materials, in fact, many or all of the materials are those that you may already have at home.

Pumpkin Apple Stamps

Salt Spider Web

This is one of my favourite Halloween crafts for kids ideas, because it’s colourful, and uses salt, which is a material I wouldn’t normally associate with arts and crafts.

All you need for this activity is paper, a pencil, glue, salt, a paintbrush, and water colour paints.

To make this activity simpler, kids can draw the web themselves, and in doing so will practice their motor skills, and creativity.

Halloween Paper Lanterns

Like many of the other activities here, you don’t need a lot of materials to make this, which is perfect for days where you’re at home and need to think of something to entertain the kids.

This Halloween craft activity has a functional element to it, which is holding a candle to make Halloween night even spookier.
