[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.

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!
