A roundup of Halloween crafts for kids, grouped into bats, black cats and jack-o'-lanterns, collected from fellow bloggers. Most use simple supplies like paper plates, egg cartons, cupcake liners, paper rolls, handprints and paper.
⚠️ Safety first
- Each idea uses different materials. Check the linked craft for its own supplies and safety notes before running it.
- Supervise scissors, glue and small parts (pom poms, LEGO bricks) closely with young children.
- Adult handles any tin cans and checks for sharp edges.
