Spooktacular Halloween Crafts for Kids to Make: Mummy Mayhem and More

Mummy Mason Jars: A Spooky-Cute Craft

Hey there, fellow crafters! Let's start with a super easy one – mummy mason jars! These are ridiculously cute and perfect for little hands. All you need are some mason jars (you can grab these at any grocery store), some white fabric strips (old sheets work great!), and some googly eyes. Wrap the fabric strips around the jars, leaving some space for the eyes, and *voila* – instant mummies! You can even add a little bit of spooky flair by using different colored fabrics. These little guys make awesome pencil holders, or you can fill them with candy for a fun Halloween treat. For more ideas on simple Halloween crafts, check out our easy Halloween crafts page!

DIY Mini Pinatas: A Sweet Treat with a Punch!

Now, for something a little more involved (but still super fun!), let’s make mini pinatas! Think toilet paper rolls transformed into adorable little ghosts or pumpkins. Get some crepe paper in Halloween colors, and let the kids go wild decorating their pinatas! Fill them with small candies or treats and let the kids whack them open – the perfect combination of crafting and a sweet reward! It's messy, it’s chaotic, it’s pure Halloween fun!

Super Simple Halloween Crafts for Kids to Make at Home

Paper Plate Fun: Monsters and More!

Okay, so paper plates. They're not exactly thrilling, right? Wrong! Paper plates are the superheroes of kid-friendly crafting. Seriously, they're cheap, readily available, and super versatile. Think about it: you can turn them into spooky monsters with googly eyes and construction paper fangs, cute little pumpkins with orange paint and black marker stems, or even friendly ghosts with white paint and some yarn for hair. My little sister once made a whole haunted house village using only paper plates, glue, and crayons! It was amazing. For more ideas on simple Halloween crafts, check out our page!

Toilet Paper Roll Transformations: From Trash to Treasure!

Remember those empty toilet paper rolls? Don't toss them! They're about to become the stars of your Halloween craft show. With a little paint and some imagination, those humble cardboard tubes can be transformed into anything from spooky mummies (wrap them in strips of white paper and add googly eyes) to adorable little pumpkins (paint them orange and add a green stem). We even made some super cute bats once by cutting out wing shapes and gluing them on! Get creative, and you'll be surprised at what you can make.

Spooky Stencils: Easy Peasy, Spooky Pleasey!

Here’s a pro-tip: stencils are your new best friend. Seriously. They're a lifesaver when it comes to making neat and consistent designs. You can find Halloween stencils online, or even make your own by cutting out shapes from cardboard. Then, simply place the stencil on your chosen material (paper, fabric, even pumpkins!), hold it in place, and use a marker or paint to create your design. It's a great way to add spooky shapes to all sorts of crafts, from spooky banners to monster masks. Need more ideas for your Halloween crafts?

Creative Halloween Crafts for Kids to Make: Monster Mash Fun

Okay, let's get our monster on! This section is all about creating some seriously spooky and silly monsters. I’m talking about creatures that would make Frankenstein himself jealous. We can use all sorts of materials – cardboard tubes (you know, from toilet paper rolls!), egg cartons (don't throw those away!), and even those weird bits of felt you have left over from that last craft project. We can turn these humble materials into amazing monsters! Think googly eyes, pipe cleaner arms and legs, and crazy hair made of yarn or even old paintbrushes. You can even use different colored paints to give your monster unique skin tones and patterns. One time, I made a monster with bright purple skin and three eyes; he was my favorite! For more ideas on how to free your inner monster maker, check out our page on for more inspiration.

Remember, there are no rules when it comes to monster making! Let your imagination run wild, and don’t be afraid to experiment. Mix and match materials, try different colors, and add all sorts of crazy details. The weirder, the better! My friend's kids once made a monster with a rainbow mane and a body made entirely of bottle caps. It was magnificent!

• Collect various craft supplies.
• Let your imagination run wild!
• Don't be afraid to experiment.

One thing I love about monster making is how it teaches kids about problem-solving. What if your monster needs a tail but you don't have any pipe cleaners? Well, maybe you can use some yarn, or even twist together some strips of paper! This kind of creative thinking is super important for kids, and it's all part of the fun. And don't forget to add personality to your monsters. Give each one a unique name and backstory. This makes the whole process even more engaging and fun.
