[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.

Pom-Pom Pumpkin
@n.annlee321 How about this for Halloween decorations? ☺️🎃#tiktok classroomLife with children#HandmadeToysHalloween
Good music – neguse.
Here’s an introduction to adorable pom-pom pumpkins that work great as wreaths or decorations! First, wrap yarn around a fork 50 times.
Once it’s wrapped, tie it twice and cut off any extra yarn.
Then tie green yarn twice around the center yarn, and your cute pumpkin is done.
Thread the finished pumpkins onto a chenille stem (pipe cleaner), shape it, and your wreath is complete.
It’s cute and easy to make—perfect for the Halloween season—so give it a try! Using stickers to make eyes and a mouth is super cute, too.
mask

In Japan, Halloween events are sometimes associated primarily with costume parties, and dressing up is fun for children too.
Full-scale costumes can be a lot of work, but simple eye masks made from paper plates are easy to make and highly recommended.
Since you’ll need to cut them into a mask shape with scissors, it’s best for an adult to do the cutting if younger children are participating.
Using freely painted masks to join a party or show them off with friends is sure to get everyone excited—it’s a Halloween craft that really captures the spirit of the season.
papercut pumpkin

This is a paper-cutting craft with a Halloween pumpkin motif that lets you enjoy clever cutting techniques and ideas.
Fold a sheet of origami paper in half three times, draw your illustration, and then cut it out.
When cutting out parts like the eyes, nose, and mouth, it’s recommended that a childcare professional handle that step.
Alternatively, you can cut out just the pumpkin silhouette and have the children either glue on facial features or draw them.
You can display the finished piece as is, or use it for a garland or hanging decoration—both are great project ideas.
Moving Halloween Skeleton
https://www.tiktok.com/@chooobo2/video/7401826380457004304When 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.
Moving Halloween Spider
@me.mino.steam [Halloween Spider with 2 Materials 👻] I made something a bit fun, so let me share it 🤭 Cut construction paper into a circle, punch a hole at the edge, attach a thin zip tie there, and you’ve got a spider 🕷✨ It’s done in no time 💕 STEAM learning elements: • How many legs does a spider have? → 8 legs❣️ Insects have 6 legs, so spiders aren’t insects ✨ • It doesn’t move up and down much if you just blow, but it does if you use a straw or make a tight “oo” shape with your mouth 😙 → Observe airflow • Think about why it springs back like a spring ☺️ ⚠️ Be careful with zip ties ⚠️ Adults should handle them 💦 How about this for Halloween? ☺️ Comments with questions or thoughts give me the energy to keep posting 😭 Sharing is super super welcome ❤️ ————————————————— On this account, I share ideas for starting STEAM education at home from zero ☝️ 🌻 At-home STEAM and Montessori-inspired activities 🌻 Nurturing children who think from real experiencesSTEAM education#homeSteam#STEM education#Halloween craftsHalloween PartytranslationAt-home experimentScientific experimentExperimental PlayBrain development#Brain-Boosting Play#Nursery School CraftKindergarten craft# Simple Craft#EducationalToys#At-Home Early Learning#AtHomePlaySensory play#STEM_Early_Learning#StayHomeTime

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

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.
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.
