Halloween bag made from a plastic bottle
When it comes to Halloween, treats are an absolute must for kids! Here, we’ll introduce a simple “Halloween candy bucket made from a plastic bottle” that you can make with a 2-year-old.
The prep is easy: first, cut off the bottom part of a plastic bottle.
Next, punch holes to thread a ribbon through.
Wrap the cut edge with vinyl tape or similar so children don’t hurt their hands.
Then just put double-sided tape on the Halloween decorations you’ve made from origami or construction paper! After that, thread the ribbon together with the kids and let them add any decorations they like, and it’s done!
Pompon Pumpkin
Two-year-olds show a wide range of developmental growth, and they’re starting to enjoy simple verbal exchanges.
Here’s a craft that lets you enjoy those little conversations while you create: the Pom-Pom Pumpkin.
First, crumple orange tissue paper.
Put it into a bag and tie the top.
Finally, stick on the face parts, and your cute pumpkin is complete! This activity uses familiar materials and lets children enjoy colors and textures as they express themselves—perfect for two-year-olds.
Muni-Muni Monster
https://www.tiktok.com/@tomonite_official/video/6887900832667340034Let’s make squishy monsters with a handmade squeeze toy.
First, stuff paper clay into a balloon in your favorite color.
Once it’s filled enough, tie it off and stick on googly-eye stickers or other decorations.
Add a ribbon, yarn, or anything you like around the knot to make it cute.
The super-squishy feel is irresistible—you’ll want to keep touching it! Be sure to make lots and enjoy a colorful bunch of monsters.
Tip: It’s easier to fill if you tear the paper clay into small pieces and add them little by little.
papercut pumpkin
This is a paper-cutting craft with a Halloween pumpkin motif that lets you enjoy clever cutting techniques and ideas.
Fold a sheet of origami paper in half three times, draw your illustration, and then cut it out.
When cutting out parts like the eyes, nose, and mouth, it’s recommended that a childcare professional handle that step.
Alternatively, you can cut out just the pumpkin silhouette and have the children either glue on facial features or draw them.
You can display the finished piece as is, or use it for a garland or hanging decoration—both are great project ideas.
Halloween art made with handprints
Here’s a Halloween craft idea you can make using children’s handprints.
First, have the kids cut the base paper into a circle.
Next, paint orange on their palms and green on their middle fingers, then stamp onto the base.
Using pre-made parts—circles, triangles, stars, and hats—let them decorate the base however they like.
Finally, add jack-o’-lantern face pieces to the orange handprint and write “Halloween” in the empty space to finish.
It’s a wonderful idea that they can also enjoy taking home.
Handprint art
Halloween-themed art made with your child’s handprints or footprints is a one-of-a-kind keepsake that can only be created at that age.
When taking the prints, choose colors while imagining what character they’ll become, and simply paste them onto construction paper—this makes it easy for even small children to join in.
Cutting and pasting colored paper to match the character’s design will enhance the finished look, but be sure an adult helps when using scissors.
Since it’s a unique piece of art in the whole world, it’s sure to become a treasure even after Halloween is over.
Wall decorations using handprints and footprints
Let’s make a Halloween wall decoration with the kids’ cute handprints! You’ll need paper plates, ribbon, paint, scissors, and a hole punch.
First, use paint to make handprints on the paper plates.
Since the fingers will look like the ghost’s legs, place the hand with the fingers pointing downward.
Once you stick on the eyes and mouth pieces on the palm area, it’s done.
Punch a hole in the paper plate and thread a string through it to hang it as a wall decoration.
In addition to the eyes and mouth pieces, you can also freely stick stickers around the edge of the paper plate to make it even cuter!
