[Part 3] Recommended Halloween Crafts for 2-Year-Olds (1–10)
Ghost Wand
Two-year-olds love using their hands to play—tearing, pulling, and rolling things.
Enjoying creative activities in a safe environment under an adult’s watch can also build their confidence.
This time, we’re introducing a fun Halloween craft: a bag ghost.
Prepare a bag, cotton, a disposable chopstick, a ribbon, round stickers, and a ghost hat.
Put the cotton and the chopstick inside the bag, tie the opening with the ribbon, then stick on the face and the ghost hat—and it’s done! Make a cute Halloween ghost that lets kids enjoy both the feel of the cotton and a seasonal craft.
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.

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!
Hanging ghost made with produce netting
The Halloween season that kids love has arrived! Here’s a recommended Halloween craft that even 2-year-olds can easily do.
With “Halloween Decorations You Can Make with Produce Nets,” even toddlers can create simple decorations using produce nets.
The method is easy: just decorate the net with origami paper and more.
Beyond the ideas introduced here, there are many types of produce nets, so the next time you buy fruit, don’t throw them away—save them and give this a try.
Big Candy Monster Made from Balloons
Perfect for Halloween crafts! Here’s an easy, highly recommended “Big Candy made with a Balloon” that even 2-year-olds can make.
Here’s what you need: balloons, pipe cleaners, and a plastic bag large enough to fit an inflated balloon.
If you prepare stick-on eyes for the face in advance, it becomes even easier for toddlers.
Make the eyes from construction or origami paper and put double-sided tape on the back so each child can pick their favorite eyes and create their own cute, original candy.
Why not make a bunch, decorate with them, and amp up the Halloween fun?
Easy ghosts with paper towels
Here’s a quick and easy ghost-making idea.
All you need is a cup and some paper towels.
First, draw lines on the paper towel with water-based pens in any colors you like.
Any color combination or shape works.
Then drape the paper towel over an upside-down cup and sprinkle water on it to make the colors bleed.
You’ll see it transform into dreamy, ethereal hues.
After that, draw a face on it and you’re done.
Using a spray bottle when you moisten it can make the process even more fun.
