Hello October! It’s all about Halloween for my family. Life with little kids can get a little crazy but it’s so much fun. One of my favorite parts of parenting is creating fun crafts with my little ones. Here are 5 spooktacular Halloween crafts for kids. All you need is a few supplies from your local craft store to kick off the spookiest season of the year.
You probably haven’t seen a mummy craft quite like this. My 4-year old had so much fun moving the mummy’s eyes from side to side.
Supplies: Green or Black Paper Plates, White Paper, Black Cardstock, Orange, Yellow or Green Paper, Circle Hole Punch, Black Marker, Glue, Scissors.
Directions:
Carefully use scissors to cut two round eye holes out of the top of the black paper plate.
Tear strips of white paper and glue them on the paper plate to make the mummy’s bandages.
Use the circle punch to cut two round eyes from the orange, green or yellow paper. Use the black marker to make pupils.
Cut strips of black cardstock. Make sure the eyes match up with the holes in the paper plate. Next, glue the eyes onto the strip of cardstock. Position your eyes slightly to one side so that there is enough black cardstock to stick out one side of the paper plate.
Cut two thin strips of black cardstock and glue either end above and below the eye strip to make two belt hoops for it to slide in.
Finally, make your paper plate mummy craft’s eyes move from side to side by pulling and pushing the long tab.
