[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.

When you think of Halloween, many people picture ghosts.

Here, we’ll introduce a skeleton toy that a 4-year-old can make.

You’ll need paper cups, three straws, a tool for making holes such as an awl, construction paper, writing utensils, and tape.

To make it, first punch three holes in the paper cup.

Insert the straws into the holes.

Gather the parts of the three straws that stick out with tape and cut them to the desired leg length.

Next, draw the skeleton’s face and hands on construction paper, cut them out, and stick them on—and you’re done! If you pull the legs, the hands move, so kids can enjoy it as pretend play, too.

Blow on it to make it move! Here’s an idea for a moving Halloween spider.

You’ll need construction paper, scissors, a hole punch, zip ties, and a straw.

First, cut the construction paper into a circle and punch a hole.

Fix the legs with zip ties and the spider is complete! The secret to making it move is the straw.

When you blow on the spider, it starts to move.

Add stickers for the eyes to make it extra cute! Once it’s done, racing them is also recommended.

It’s a fun craft idea that will bring lots of smiles.

Halloween art made with handprints

[Kindergartens and Nurseries] Halloween Art and Crafts Made with Handprints in October

Here’s a Halloween craft idea you can make using children’s handprints.

First, have the kids cut the base paper into a circle.

Next, paint orange on their palms and green on their middle fingers, then stamp onto the base.

Using pre-made parts—circles, triangles, stars, and hats—let them decorate the base however they like.

Finally, add jack-o’-lantern face pieces to the orange handprint and write “Halloween” in the empty space to finish.

It’s a wonderful idea that they can also enjoy taking home.

How to Make Handprint Art! Enjoy Halloween ♡
Handprint art

Halloween-themed art made with your child’s handprints or footprints is a one-of-a-kind keepsake that can only be created at that age.

When taking the prints, choose colors while imagining what character they’ll become, and simply paste them onto construction paper—this makes it easy for even small children to join in.

Cutting and pasting colored paper to match the character’s design will enhance the finished look, but be sure an adult helps when using scissors.

Since it’s a unique piece of art in the whole world, it’s sure to become a treasure even after Halloween is over.

Wall decorations using handprints and footprints

Wall decorations using handprints and footprints

Let’s make a Halloween wall decoration with the kids’ cute handprints! You’ll need paper plates, ribbon, paint, scissors, and a hole punch.

First, use paint to make handprints on the paper plates.

Since the fingers will look like the ghost’s legs, place the hand with the fingers pointing downward.

Once you stick on the eyes and mouth pieces on the palm area, it’s done.

Punch a hole in the paper plate and thread a string through it to hang it as a wall decoration.

In addition to the eyes and mouth pieces, you can also freely stick stickers around the edge of the paper plate to make it even cuter!
