With that in mind, we’ve gathered plenty of craft ideas perfect for Halloween for two-year-olds.
Prepare in advance the parts that are hard for children to do on their own, and guide the activity so they can feel the accomplishment and satisfaction of “I made it by myself!”

[Part 3] Recommended Halloween Crafts for 2-Year-Olds (1–10)
A paint ghost with a fun, squishy feel
https://www.tiktok.com/@hoiku.labo/video/7288608863044078850Have you ever had the experience of getting paint on your clothes during art activities and not being able to get it out? Did you know there’s a method that lets you use paint without dirtying your clothes, so you can enjoy creating? This time, let’s use that method to make a Halloween ghost.
First, place a sheet of construction paper inside a food storage bag, squeeze your favorite paints on top of the paper, and seal the bag.
Spread the paint from the outside of the bag, and it will transform into a ghost.
Once the paint dries, add eyes with stickers or a felt-tip pen to finish.
You can have fun while developing expressive skills and enjoying the way paint colors move.
Dynamic Monster
@haruharo_made Halloween craft / Dynamic Halloween Monsters. You don’t have to use pom-poms—crumpled tissues work too! ⚠︎ If they’re too big, they’ll bounce with incredible force, so be careful. [Candy details] The candy is available for free in the Halloween illustrations under “Pattern Details!” on the home link. Be sure to check it out!

Fun from the moment you start! Let’s make colorful monsters! The method is super simple: mix paint with plenty of water, drop in small craft pom-poms, and place them wherever you like on a sheet of construction paper.
Then, with one hand, give each pom-pom a quick smack from above—bam! The paint-soaked pom-pom will burst and leave patterns on the paper.
Make several of these spots, let them dry, then freely stick on eyes and mouths to finish! It’s a very dynamic activity, but kids will absolutely love it—give it a try!
A ghost made from origami cut in half
This is a fun ghost origami craft you can easily make with a sheet of origami paper cut in half! It’s perfect for autumn downtime and for creating decorations for Halloween.
It’s also great fine-motor play for three-year-olds, so try making it together as a parent-child activity.
The steps are very simple, so you can finish it quickly—another nice plus! The little tail folded to the back of the ghost is super cute.
You can also make a hat with another piece of origami and put it on for an even cuter look.
Using your favorite colors or patterned paper for the hat can make your Halloween feel even more festive.
Making a Halloween costume
Halloween is becoming a big event in Japan, too.
It’s a familiar occasion for children.
Let’s try making costumes perfect for Halloween! If a 2-year-old wants to make a simple costume, using plastic bags is recommended.
Use an orange bag to be a jack-o’-lantern, a white one to be a ghost, and a black one to be a witch.
Draw or stick on your favorite patterns, and you’ll have an easy Halloween costume ready in no time! Make sure an adult handles cutting the holes for the neck and arms.

Kids love paints and shiny marbles, don’t they? Art activities using marbles and paint let them enjoy creativity and how colors mix.
Here’s a fun project to make a monster using paint and marbles.
Prepare construction paper, marbles, paint, and a square tray.
Put the construction paper and paint-coated marbles into the tray, then tilt and move the tray to roll the marbles around.
Once the paint dries, add facial parts and other decorations to finish.
Using colored pens or round stickers to draw expressions could be really cute, too.
Halloween monsters made with water balloons

That tactile sensation is said to be great for stimulating children’s curiosity and senses.
For this Halloween monster craft using water balloons, prepare water balloons, construction paper, paint, and cotton swabs.
Dip the water balloon in paint and dab it to create monsters in your favorite colors.
Once it’s dry, stick on a mouth and eyes, then use cotton swabs to add color around the monster.
Through this activity, children can learn how to adjust hand pressure and enjoy the fun of exploring colors.

The Halloween phrase “trick or treat” is said to mean “If you don’t give me candy, I’ll play a trick on you.” This time, we’re introducing a popular Halloween craft using paint.
Dab paint onto construction paper with a cotton swab.
Once the paint dries, cut it into candy shapes, add a little ghost, and you’re done! If you ask the children what color candy they want to make as you go, it will get them even more excited for Halloween.
Have fun making it!
