[Part 2] At Daycare and Kindergarten! A Collection of Halloween Decoration Ideas (1–10)
Ponpon Spider
Spiders are often cited as one of the motifs of Halloween.
Since some people may dislike realistic spiders, it’s nice to make them cute when using them as decorations.
The spider’s body is made with yarn.
Wrap yarn around your fingers many times, tie it together, then cut the ends and fluff it out to create a soft, rounded body.
After that, just attach the legs and eyes to finish.
By paying attention to the expression of the eyes, you can enhance the overall softness and create an adorable spider.
Another key point is that by changing the color of the yarn, you can produce a variety of different moods.
Origami Ghost Pumpkin
Origami decorations are easy to try using things you already have at home, like origami paper, glue, and scissors, so they’re perfect when you want to make lots of decorations in a short time.
Among them, origami ghost pumpkins are a top pick: once you learn the steps, they’re simple yet look impressively polished.
There are many ways to add the pumpkin’s grooves and draw the facial features, so check out YouTube videos and choose a method that suits you.
Start by drawing the face with a marker, and when you get tired of the same design, try cutting out the facial parts with scissors for a fun variation!
paper cup lantern
For parents who have extra paper cups at home because guests have been scarce during the pandemic, we recommend making lanterns out of paper cups.
Besides drink cups, you can also try using yogurt containers or candy boxes, which makes this decoration easy to create.
Adults can handle tasks that require scissors or a craft knife, while kids can stick on pieces using cellophane—so it’s easy to divide roles.
It’s our top pick for a parent–child Halloween decoration!
witch’s hat
A witch’s hat made with felt could offer a different kind of charm amid the often vivid hues of typical Halloween decorations.
From the hat itself to the embellishments, the soft texture and three-dimensional construction are sure to catch the eye at any event.
Because tools like cutters and hot glue guns can be tricky to handle, be sure that an adult works alongside children when they make it.
It’s a Halloween-specific craft that lets you enjoy materials and steps different from everyday projects.
origami wreath
Let’s try making a large ring-shaped wreath by combining origami.
Fold 12 sheets of origami into the same shape and connect them, and you’ll have an easy wreath in no time.
It’s important to choose colors that match the event—if it’s for Halloween, orange, black, and perhaps purple are the classics.
Since the finished piece is a simple ring, you can enhance the festive feel by adding various decorations, such as attaching cutouts of Halloween characters.
This will result in a bright, eye-catching wreath that highlights the fun of the event.
Accordion-fold bat
An accordion-fold bat that can also be used as a Halloween room decoration.
Since it can be made with a few parts centered around construction paper, it’s recommended for childcare settings with two-year-old children.
The key is to pre-cut the paper for the wings, eyes, and ears into separate parts.
Fold a square sheet of construction paper in half three times to make creases, then accordion-fold along the lines and secure the center with tape.
Align the two ends to form a paper fan.
Finally, attach the wings, ears, and eyes to complete a three-dimensional bat.
A colorful Halloween created by everyone
This is a Halloween wall display combining handprint ghosts from the 0-year-old class, footprint pumpkins from the 1-year-old class, and mummies from the 2-year-old class.
It brings together the infant classes’ works on a single wall.
Please pre-cut the ghosts, pumpkin vines and leaves, and mummies from construction paper.
For the white mummy strips, cut construction paper into long, thin pieces and have the 2-year-olds stick them on.
For the background, use rollers with the children to paint it purple and black to create atmosphere.
It’s also recommended to add a full moon, a castle, and bats alongside the artworks.
