Irresistible for 3-year-olds! A collection of fun Halloween craft ideas to make

pumpkin bag

Making a Halloween bag with my 1-year-4-month-old 🎃 | Trick or treating at home 👻 | Halloween Crafts 2022

Here’s a cute pumpkin bag you can make simply with a paper cup.

First, prepare orange construction paper and cut it into a rectangle: one side should match the circumference of the paper cup’s base, and the other should be slightly longer than the height of the cup.

Crease the paper, then make multiple slits so it becomes long, narrow strips.

Apply double-sided tape along one long edge of the paper and attach it to the bottom of the paper cup.

Tape the opposite slit edge to the inside of the cup’s rim, keeping it slightly loose and puffy.

Finally, attach the pumpkin face pieces and a handle, and you’re done.

As shown in the video, take your time explaining how to use the tools and materials, respect your child’s “I want to try!” attitude, and support them so they can take on the challenge.

Pumpkins made with torn-paper collage

[Halloween Craft!] Jack-o'-Lantern Torn-Paper Collage 🎃🦇 #PreschoolCrafts #NurseryTeacher #TeachingIdeas #TraineeTeacher #TeacherLife #Easy #TornPaperArt #Origami #Halloween #HalloweenCrafts

We’re introducing a fun torn-paper pumpkin craft.

The method is very simple: freely tear orange and yellow origami paper into pieces.

Then glue the torn pieces onto a sheet of construction paper that’s been cut into the shape of a pumpkin.

Finally, draw the pumpkin’s face and you’re done.

Tearing paper play helps develop children’s fine motor skills and provides great sensory stimulation.

It’s very easy and requires only a few supplies, so enjoy making a cute pumpkin together with your one-year-old!

Ghost crafts recommended for ages 1 and up—even for Halloween | Indoor play ideas

Here’s a cute, fluffy ghost craft that 1-year-olds will enjoy making.

It’s very simple: tear up some tissue paper and stuff plenty of it into a clear plastic bag.

Once it’s filled, seal it tightly with clear tape, then stick on eye and mouth stickers to finish! In the video we used tissue paper for the filling, but cotton or origami paper—or almost any material—will look adorable.

Because it involves tearing and ripping, actions kids love, they can focus and have fun while making it!

Candy trinket box

[Kindergarten/Daycare] Let’s put in some treats! October Candy Accessory Holder Craft

October is the season for Halloween, which kids love! Here’s how to make a cute candy-shaped treat holder that a 3-year-old can help with.

Materials: paint, origami paper, scissors, glue, a toilet paper roll, shoji paper (thin Japanese paper), and pipe cleaners.

The steps are simple.

First, glue the origami paper onto the toilet paper roll.

Next, fold the shoji paper into a small bundle.

Dip the folded paper into paint in your favorite colors to dye it.

Once the dyed paper is completely dry, wrap it around the toilet paper roll.

Tie one end with a pipe cleaner, put the treats in from the other side, then tie that side with a pipe cleaner too—and you’re done! Decorating it cutely is also recommended.

Halloween Characters Made with the Stencil Technique

Halloween Wall Display Craft (For Ages 4 and Up): A Preschool Teacher Explains an Easy Method Using the Stencil Technique

Here’s a super cute craft to decorate your room wall.

We’ll use a stenciling technique, so let’s start by making a dauber.

Cut shapes out of construction paper—ghosts, pumpkins, and candy.

Place the stencil on black construction paper and secure it with masking tape, then gently dab on paint with a pouncing motion.

Keep dabbing until the color shows nicely.

Tip: add just a little water to the paint before using it.

Once it’s dry, peel off the stencil and draw the eyes and mouth.

Hang it up and enjoy it with the kids!

Stained glass-style wall decoration

[Making] Create stained-glass-style wall art with laminating film #FormerPreschoolTeacher #CraftsForOneYearOlds #HalloweenCrafts

Would you like to make a stained-glass-style wall decoration that you’ll want to display by the window? First, color your child’s sole with yellow paint or an ink pad and stamp it onto construction paper three times.

Cut it into a pumpkin shape and attach the eyes and mouth pieces.

Next, cut colorful construction paper however you like, then arrange those pieces together with the pumpkin on a laminating sheet.

Laminate it at the end, and you’re done.

Using scissors is still difficult for one-year-olds, so please do this together with an adult.

Using transparent origami paper or colored cellophane will give it a more translucent look, which is highly recommended.

Halloween Monsters Made with Sponge Stamps

[Halloween Craft♪] Halloween Monsters Made with Sponge Stamps 👾👻 #preschoolcraft #nurseryteacher #teachingideas #traineenurseryteacher #teacherlife #easy #spongestamp #Halloween #Halloweencraft

Would you like to make colorful monsters using sponge stamps? A sponge stamp is a tool like a tampo: wrap a piece of sponge around the tip of a chopstick and secure it with a rubber band.

Dip it in your favorite paint colors and stamp it onto drawing paper with a light pouncing motion.

Once it’s dry, stick on eye and mouth stickers to finish! No matter how many eyes or mouths you add, it turns into a cute monster, so don’t worry about numbers—let the kids place them freely.

That way, they can feel satisfied and accomplished with their creations!
