Halloween Crafts

Over this month I am going to be doing a few blogs on different Halloween things. Hope that you enjoy them. Now, I know that all of you are busy but I thought you might want to do these simple crafts with your children.

Paper Pumpkin

Materials Needed:
Paper Plate
Construction Paper
Finger Paint
Glue

Instructions:Using the finger paint, paint the back side of the paper plate orange. Cut out eyes, nose, and mouth from black construction paper and glue it on the orange side of the paper plate once it is dry. Cut out a brown rectangle from construction paper and green leaf shapes. Glue these on to be the stem and leaves on the back, top edge of the pumpkin so it sticks out over the top.


Clay Pot Ghost
Make this cute ghost using a terra cotta clay pot and a few other supplies.

Materials Needed:
2 inch Terra Cotta Clay Pot
1 1/2 inch Wooden Ball Head
White Fun Foam
Paint
Clear Acrylic Sealer Spray
Glue (hot glue gun preferred)

Instructions:Wipe down your terra cotta pot with a damp cloth and let dry completely.
Paint the clay pot and the wooden ball head white. Put them aside to dry.
Once the paint is dry, glue the wooden ball onto the bottom of the clay pot (figure 1). Paint a face on the wooden ball (figure 2). Once all your paint is dry, spray it with the clear acrylic sealer.

Cut out two ghost arms out of white fun foam.
Glue them to the sides of your clay pot! Your ghost is now complete.

Have fun and enjoy!
