Coffee Filter Spiderwebs

Coffee Filter Spiderwebs
A coffee filter is actually a fantastic craft medium because it's nice and thin, yet it isn't too fragile. You may have made some coffee filter snowflakes before, but now it's time for the kids to make coffee filter spiderwebs to hang on your windows!

Toilet Paper Mummies

Toilet Paper Mummies
I used to wrap myself in toilet paper and pretend to be a mummy, but in this case, you can get the kids to wrap the cardboard rolls themselves. It's a lot less messy than a whole wrapped person, and it's simply adorable!

Party Piñatas
I don't care how old you are, a piñata will always be fun to smash, regardless of whether you're a kid trying to get to the candy, or an adult releasing some stress. These two tutorials show you how to get the kids involved in making a family of ghosts, and a pumpkin. The pumpkin one can actually even be used as a trick-or-treat bag when the time comes.

If you're lucky enough to land the job of hosting a Halloween party, then you may want to consider these monster candy holders as party favors. If you don't want to slave away all day with your little one, you could get all the kids to make their own as a fun activity.

Glow Stick Jars
Another fun way to bring some Halloween light is with these clever glow-in-the-dark jars. You'll definitely need to supervise since you don't want any accidental ingesting of the glow stick liquid, but the decorating can be all up to the little ones.

Tape Resist Skeleton

Tape Resist Skeleton
If your rug rat likes things on a much bigger scale, then this life-size tape resist skeleton may be just be the way to go. It's a really fun activity because they get to trace bodies, stick the tape, paint, and reveal! Plus, they learn a bit about the human body throughout the process, too.

Ghost Garland

Ghost Garland
I used to love making paper chains as a kid – I'd toss them all over the house! If your little ones feels the same, then get them involved in this ghostly garland. They can even add a whole bunch of other characters too, like bats and monsters.

Spider Hat

Spider Hat
Halloween is the only time of year that I'll allow anything spider-related in my home, so I might as well make the most of it. Your little tots are sure to enjoy making these fun spider hats to wear out trick-or-treating or even just to show off at school.

Witch Hat

Witch Hat
Since I'm on the topic of hats, if you have a little witch in the house then she'll definitely need a signature hat! Get your kids to decorate the hats in their own style so that they can either wear them around, or simply decorate your home.
