[For 4-Year-Olds] Fun to Make! A Collection of Halloween Craft Ideas
It’s the Halloween season that 4-year-olds love! Here, we’ll introduce Halloween craft ideas you can enjoy together with 4-year-olds.
We’ve gathered only projects you can move and play with, like spiders and ghosts.
They’re made with familiar materials and include lots of engaging tricks—blowing air to make them move or using the power of rubber bands—to really grab children’s interest.
Through making these, kids can grow their creativity and expressive skills, while the excitement and thrills spread as they work with friends.
It’s sure to be a special time where everyone can share the fun of Halloween.
Because the children’s creations are treated as works (artworks), we use the term “seisaku” (制作) in the text.
[For 4-year-olds] Fun to Make! A Collection of Halloween Craft Ideas (1–10)
Perfect for Halloween! Ghost origami
After folding the origami into a triangle, open it, then fold the two left edges in to meet the crease.
Rotate the paper so that the newly formed point is at the bottom, and open the two opposing corners along the crease outward into triangles.
Fold the upper left and right edges in to meet the crease, then fold the top point down to the base of the triangle.
Slightly tuck the two top corners inward, then fold the bottom corner up to the left diagonally.
Unfold to set the crease, then fold the left edge of the triangle beneath the crease in to meet the crease.
Finally, fold up along the crease, and your ghost is complete.
Easy! Halloween Pumpkin
Fold the origami paper twice to make a small square.
Flatten both of the pocket sections formed by the folds into triangles, then fold the left and right edges of one of the triangles toward the center line.
Turn the paper over and fold up the part sticking out at the bottom to hide it as a triangle.
Next, fold the left and right corners of the other triangle toward the center line, then tuck the two corners created by the folds slightly inward.
Finally, fold the top corner downward, then fold it back up a little so the tip sticks out slightly, and your pumpkin is complete.
Perfect for Halloween! Black Cat Origami
https://www.tiktok.com/@hoiku.labo/video/7280820202445524226After folding the paper into a square using the zabuton fold, lift two of the corners gathered at the center to make the cat’s ears.
Fold the corners sticking out from the base of the ears inward, then tuck in the remaining corners to shape the face.
Flip the paper over, and your cute cat is complete! Draw the face and whiskers to finish it off.
The vibe changes depending on the color of the paper, so try making it in your favorite color.
If you pop a witch’s hat on it, it might feel even more Halloween-y!
Origami Halloween wrapping
https://www.tiktok.com/@yumi_chiiku/video/7289038479617477896Let’s make a candy-shaped wrapping box that can hold a small gift.
First, crease the origami paper finely, then roll it into a tube and twist one end to shape it like a candy.
Make two identical pieces and overlap the tube sections to complete the wrapping box.
It may seem difficult, but as long as you carefully do the creasing steps, it comes together in no time—give it a try! If you use Halloween-colored origami and draw a ghost face, you’ll have a box perfect for Halloween.
Let’s make a ghost!
Fold the origami paper in half into a square twice to make creases.
Open it, then fold the top and bottom edges to meet the horizontal crease.
From there, make additional creases and squash-fold the left and right sides into boat shapes.
On one of the boats, squash only one corner into a square to create the ghost’s face.
The sides of the face will be the hands, and the remaining part becomes the bottom.
Use the creases on the hands to create indentations so they look three-dimensional—that’s the key.
Soften the head by folding the corners to make it round, and finish by folding the bottom part up at a diagonal.
Draw the face with stickers or a pen to complete it.
Easy and cute Halloween ghost
After folding the paper in half into a triangle twice to make creases, open it and place the origami so the creases form a cross.
Fold the bottom corner up to the center to make a crease, then fold the top corner down to align with that crease.
Fold the left and right corners to the center line to crease them, then unfold.
Make step folds so the creases you just made overlap with the center line, open the pocketed parts, and squash-fold them into triangles.
These will be the ghost’s hands.
Fold both top corners into small triangles to round the ghost’s head, then fold the left and right edges of the bottom corner to the center line to form the tail.
Turn the paper over, fold both hands inward, and fold the tail up at an angle.
It’s complete.
Cute Halloween candy
After folding the origami paper in half into a triangle twice to make creases, open it up and fold the top and bottom corners in to meet at the center.
Next, fold the bases of the two triangles you created in toward the center line.
Fold the left and right corners inward to make the origami a rectangle, then make stepped folds on the left and right sides.
Flatten the upper and lower parts of those stepped sections into triangles to form a candy shape.
If you fold the corners of the square in the middle to round them, it will look even more like candy.
Add patterns or decorate with stickers to finish it nicely.
