A jack-o’-lantern that can stand upright
Let’s make a jack-o’-lantern—perfect for a Halloween craft! Using toilet paper rolls, a common household item, you can try it easily and at little to no cost.
Wrap origami paper around three toilet paper rolls, connect them with double-sided tape, then add the pumpkin’s face and stem.
With only a few steps, it’s easy enough for three-year-olds to try.
You can even adapt it into a ghost or a witch, not just a pumpkin.
It stands upright, so it’s sure to shine as a Halloween decoration!
3D pumpkin
Would you like to make 3D pumpkins to decorate the wall for a Halloween party? Draw circular illustrations on origami paper, cut them out, and create the pumpkin parts.
Fold each pumpkin piece in half, apply glue, and attach them together.
Add the facial features to the tip of the 3D shape, and finish by attaching the stem at the top.
You can enjoy many variations by changing the pumpkin’s color and expression.
Cutting paper and applying glue also makes this a great activity for 3-year-olds to practice fine motor skills.
Give it a try!
Paper Cup Monster
It would be wonderful to have fun with the kids and make cute monsters together, wouldn’t it? Crafting is also said to be good for children’s hearts and brains.
This time, let’s make paper cup monsters using paper cups! First, stick eyeball stickers on the paper cup, then freely attach chenille stems (pipe cleaners) and masking tape with glue.
If you leave it up to the kids’ imagination, you’ll end up with super cute monsters! Create one-of-a-kind paper cup monsters and let’s make Halloween even more exciting!
Halloween candy with cotton swab stamps
Here’s an idea for making Halloween candies using cotton swabs and paint.
You’ll need cotton swabs, paint, and construction paper.
Cut the construction paper into candy shapes beforehand.
Dip a cotton swab in your favorite paint color and gently dab dots onto the candy-shaped paper like a stamp.
Kids will be thrilled to stamp lots of their favorite colors onto the paper and will get really absorbed in the activity! Make a bunch and hang them on the wall—they’ll look super cute.
Footprint Jack-o’-Lantern
This is a craft that turns cute child footprints into Halloween pumpkins.
Use orange ink and stamp three footprints side by side horizontally.
For a neat look, use the left foot on the left side and the right foot on the right side.
Add eyes, a mouth, and a hat on top, and it will look like a Jack-o’-lantern.
If you write the child’s name and the date on the hat and stick it on the wall, it becomes a very cute keepsake to track growth.
If your child doesn’t like having their foot inked, don’t force it—but do give this a try!
