This keepsake is chock-full of bonding moments: making the dough together, painting, decorating, and selecting the perfect photo.

Beaded Pumpkin by Creative Child – Get your toddlers to strengthen their little fingers, improve coordination, and make something beautiful! This quick, no-mess craft can be used in decorations or for play.

Creepy Crawly Placemat by Inner Child Fun – Bring the anticipation of Halloween to mealtime with this fun creepy crawly placemat! It is so easy to make, and your child will just beam knowing they created it themselves and it has been deemed worthy of the family dinner table. Not to mention, you could use it as a distraction for grumpy eaters: “How many spiders…” “With your finger, follow the spider web to…”

Flying Paper Cup Ghost by Kids’ Craft Room – Once the ghost is hung by a long loop of yarn, the two ends are pulled apart to glide the paper cup up and down the yarn. How SPOOK-tacular is that? This craft also offers an opportunity for preschoolers to practice their scissors skills by cutting along drawn lines.

Just Adorable Halloween-Themed Crafts!

Paper Plate Spiders by Coffee Cups and Crayons – All you need is paint, paper plates, pipe cleaners, and googly eyes, and—BAM!—you have a Halloween spider infestation! Halloween crafts for preschoolers as simple as this one really allow kids to be creative, especially if you lay out numerous items they can use for decorating.

Handprint Witch by The Best Ideas for Kids – Handprint crafts always end up being a type of keepsake, whether we realize it or not at first. The great thing about this one is that we are shown how to turn this craft into cards.

Paper Plate Witch Hat by Cutesy Crafts – This craft requires party hats, paper plates, and some quick adult prep to attach the two together. However, once that’s done, you can let your little ones go to town decorating their very own witch hat. This would be such a fun craft to make at a Halloween party or a pre-Halloween play date.

Halloween Science Activity – This fun science craft is fun for kids of all ages! Who doesn’t love some sparkly, fizzy action? Add some Halloween props to make it even more exciting.

There you have them, friends! Some SPOOK-tacular Halloween crafts for kids!

Pro tip: pour a shallow bowl of school glue for little ones to dip each cotton ball into instead of passing over the entire bottle. Don’t forget to complete with a construction paper face.
