[Part 3] In Nurseries and Kindergartens! A Collection of Halloween Decoration Ideas (1–10)
pumpkin candy
These pumpkin candies can be used for Halloween candy parties and as decorations for dining scenes.
Let’s make this cute, easy, and fun item together with the kids! Cut a sheet of origami into quarters and fold one quarter in half to make a crease.
Fold all four corners toward the center, then fold along the center crease, leaving one corner sticking out at the top.
Take another sheet of origami and fold it in half, then fold the top and bottom toward the center.
Fold the top and bottom diagonally, rotate it, and fold the corners toward the center.
Make one more identical piece, attach both pieces to the main body, and your candy is complete.
Halloween pumpkin with tissue paper
A Halloween pumpkin wall decoration made by crumpling tissue paper! The method is super simple: crumple orange tissue paper, put it into a clear plastic bag, shape it, and tie it with a pipe cleaner.
Stick eyes, a nose, and a mouth onto the side of the bag, and your pumpkin is done in no time.
You can stick it on the wall, but the drawstring-style look is so cute that tying it to a string and hanging it as a garland is also recommended.
If you crumple white tissue paper, you can make a ghost too—so be sure to try them together!
Dreamcatcher
A dreamcatcher that’s perfect for Halloween crafts and decorations.
It’s designed to look like a Halloween-themed spiderweb, giving it a stylish and cute finish! First, cut out the center of a paper plate in a circle and punch holes around the rim.
Next, tie yarn to a toothpick and thread it through the holes you made.
You can also punch holes at the bottom and add Halloween-themed ribbons for decoration.
It’s perfect as a hanging ornament to brighten up your entryway or windows, so give it a try with your kids!
Halloween candy bottle
If you want to enjoy preparing for Halloween with your kids, why not make some candy bottles? Their unique look will build excitement as Halloween approaches! First, get some small empty bottles, like those from yogurt drinks, and fill them with candies that fit inside.
You can decorate the caps and the bottles with masking tape or stickers to create Halloween motifs like mummies and ghosts.
You can also display them around the room and eat them on Halloween day, or attach a string and use them as a fun accent for costumes—get creative and enjoy!
A bat made with handprints
Here’s an idea for making handprint bats that’s perfect for Halloween.
First, stamp your left and right handprints onto construction paper.
Cut them out and place them facing opposite directions.
Then attach a bat head made from construction paper in the center, and you’re done.
It turns out super cute, so displaying it will make your Halloween even more fun.
Plus, when you look back later, you can be surprised and think, “Your hands were this small back then!”—that’s another charming point of this idea.
Jack-o’-lantern made with a footprint
In October, many children look forward to Halloween.
So here’s a craft I’d like to introduce: “Jack-o’-lanterns made from footprints.” There are two main steps.
First, prepare white paper and orange paint.
Then apply the paint to the feet and press footprints onto the paper in a row.
This should create a silhouette that looks like a pumpkin.
Finally, add eye and mouth pieces to the pumpkin, and it’s done.
One of the charms of this idea is that when you look back at it later, you can feel how much the child has grown.
Spider web wreath
Here’s a spiderweb wreath I highly recommend as a Halloween party decoration.
Using a paper plate, let’s easily make a wreath.
First, cut out the center of the paper plate so you’re left with just the rim, and make several small slits around that rim.
On the remaining rim, attach Halloween-themed decorations—like jack-o’-lanterns and bats—made from origami or construction paper.
It’s also a great idea to add small torn pieces of origami paper as confetti-like decorations or use Halloween-themed stickers.
After that, hook black yarn into the slits you made in the plate, crisscrossing it from different directions to form a spiderweb pattern, and you’re done! Add a ribbon and you can hang it on a wall or anywhere you like.
