Halloween
A time for ghosts, goblins, pumpkins, trick or treating and fun. Halloween is also a great time for DIY and kids crafts.
Halloween is a great time for imagination creation in the form of Halloween crafts, homemade costumes and carved pumpkins.
kids crafts
Break out the glitter and the glue it’s time to create. The simplest items can become some of the greatest forms of art. Crayons, pencils, clay, cardboard tubes, pipe cleaners and felt.
Let your child’s imagination run wild. Can a brown paper bag become a broom stick or a trick or treat bag? Or will your pumpkin be painted or carved?
carving pumpkins
Traditionally carving pumpkins has to be the top Halloween craft of all time. Now you can paint your pumpkin, design your pumpkin and sculpt the Halloween gourd.
Out with the spoon and knife for carving and in with the power tools and sculpting knives. I have seen some pretty cool pumpkin carvings.
halloween diy
Whether you are sewing a Halloween costume, creating a fall wreath or helping your child make DIY slime Halloween is the season of do it yourself crafts. Below you will find a great list of easy to follow kids crafts including a recipe for slime.
costume creation
Searching and buying a Halloween costume is great there are many choices. But there is something uniquely creative and frugal in making your own Halloween costume.
Making your children’s Halloween costume can be as simple and easy as a visit to the thrifty store for fabric and old clothes plus a trip or online order of art supplies.
Start with something simple and build from there. A cardboard box could be the base of a rocket ship or robot. A white sheet could become a ghost or mummy. Creativity and imagination is the key.
