5 Spooky Halloween Crafts for Kids


Halloween is just around the corner and so is the opportunity for some spooky themed crafts.
I've picked 5 of my favourite to share with you today.

Witchy Owl
I just adore these little pine cone owl witches and they'd look so cute all lined up on a shelf or window sill. Go out and collect some pine cones then take card, or felt, and create their eyes, beak and of course their little hat.
Check out the tutorial to make these here.

Glittery Wizard Wand
Being a huge Harry Potter fan, I just couldn't resist this tutorial for glittery wands. Collect some sticks on your autumn walks, cover them in glue and add piles of glitter. Once dry, spend the rest of the day practising your best spells.
Tutorial available here.

Witches Hats Good Enough to Eat
How great would these hats look at a party? Create some delicious witches hats using ice cream cones, biscuits chocolate and sweeties then enjoy eating them in half the time. 
You can check out the tutorial here.

Paper Plate Spiders
Dangle these around your house to create a creepy Halloween vibe. You just need paper plates, paint, pipe cleaners and googly eyes to make them. Why not create a whole family of spiders in different colours?

Wooden Spoon Mummies
I've taught a few children's workshops on how to make these and they're so easy to. 

You will need: wooden spoons, long white pipe cleaners, bandages, glue and a black marker pen. 

1. Begin by drawing eyes on your wooden spoon using the marker pen.
2. Next, wrap the pipe cleaner round the handle of the spoon to create arms. 
3. Then begin wrapping your bandage round your spoon, starting with the handle, and covering the whole spoon and arms. Once it's all covered, secure the end of the bandage with a bit of glue.
4. Enjoy scaring everyone with your mummy!
