A Halloween Craft Activity to Decorate Your Home
Article by Terri Evans
If you are looking for a Halloween craft activity that will produce an effective Halloween decoration for your home then you have come to the right place. Whatever you have the kids creating for craft, you’ll want to make sure that they will be proud when they display it on Halloween.
One very effective Halloween craft is to make luminaries that can line the walkway on Halloween night. These can be made with a simple brown paper lunch bag. Draw a pumpkin face or a bat on front of the bag. Next cut out the shape you have drawn. Spray paint the bag on both sides with black or orange paint.
When the paint is dry, open up the bag and place sand in the bottom. Use a candle to light it up and you have an effective decoration for Halloween. You’ll want to use a small candle placed in the center of the bag so a tea candle placed inside a small glass votive is recommended. These luminaries can be placed in a window but obviously not near a curtain or they can be used to line the walkway and greet the trick or treaters.
Of course it isn’t Halloween without a few spiders lurking about. One simple Halloween craft activity uses egg cartons to make spiders. The spiders are made from one of the cups placed upside down and painted black. Add googly eyes to your spider body and then create legs by adding black pipe cleaners. Make four holes on each side and push the pipe cleaners through the holes. Knot the end that is pushed through the holes so that they don’t slip out and then shape the legs so that your spider will stand. These can be hung around the house or can be stood on shelves or hung from shelves.
The best decorations at Halloween are those that are handmade. The kids will be very proud of what they have done and will learn different skills as they craft their Halloween decorations. A Halloween craft activity doesn’t have to be expensive. Often decorations can be made from house hold items.
White plastic shopping bags can be turned into ghosts. Old white sheets can become ghosts too. Egg cartons can become spiders or bats. Cardboard boxes can be shaped into tombstones. Choose each Halloween craft activity carefully and with a little imagination and creativity, your whole house can be decorated with very little expense and you and the kids will be proud of what you have created.

Halloween Craft Activities for Children
Article by Terri Evans
Halloween craft activities are the ideal way to keep kids busy in the lead up to Halloween. They can enjoy the activity and when they are finished they can then use what they have made to decorate their home for Halloween. This means that they get to enjoy it even more and they will feel proud of what they have created.
There are many different Halloween craft activities that are suitable for kids at home or at school. They can make spiders, bats, ghosts and other creepy creatures. They can also create edible crafts that can be eaten when they are finished.
The following are some Halloween craft activities that you can start with. There are three popular activities that kids enjoy and that can be prepared quickly by the teacher or the parent.
You can use a small clay pot to create a spooky Halloween spider. All you need is some black paint, glue, black pipe cleaner and string. Paint the pot black and turn it upside down to make the spider’s body. You then add some googly eyes to the side. The pipe cleaners are glued to the edges of the rim of the pot with four on each side. Bend the pipe cleaners into shape to be the spider legs and sit the pot on its rim. Your spider can then sit on a shelf or it can be hung.
To hang the spider put a piece of string through the hole and secure the string by tying a knot or tying it to a small stick so that the string won’t come back through the hole. The spider can then be hung up.
Many Halloween craft activities start with a simple paper plate. If you cut a hole in the center of the plate about six inches in diameter, you will leave a wide rim that can be used to create a Halloween wreath. The wreath can be first painted in black or orange. The rim can then be covered with dried grasses, leaves, flowers and twigs. Add plastic spiders and bugs and cotton balls that are stretched over it to create spider webs.
Another simple Halloween craft is to create Halloween luminaries. These can be made from large jars that are painted orange. Cut out a black shape of a pumpkin, a witch or a bat etc and glue the shape onto the jar. Place sand in the bottom of the jar and a small tea candle in the center of the sand. These can be indoor or outdoor decorations. A row of these look great lining the walkway to greet the trick or treaters.
Halloween craft activities are a great activity for the lead up to Halloween. Use a little imagination and these crafts don’t have to be expensive. Often you can use materials that you already have. The kids enjoy making the craft and they get to use them when they are finished to decorate their home or classroom.
