Pumpkins made with torn-paper collage

We’re introducing a fun torn-paper pumpkin craft.

The method is very simple: freely tear orange and yellow origami paper into pieces.

Then glue the torn pieces onto a sheet of construction paper that’s been cut into the shape of a pumpkin.

Finally, draw the pumpkin’s face and you’re done.

Tearing paper play helps develop children’s fine motor skills and provides great sensory stimulation.

It’s very easy and requires only a few supplies, so enjoy making a cute pumpkin together with your one-year-old!

Fluffy Ghost

Air-filled and floaty! Here’s a fun idea for a fluffy ghost.

You’ll need a black plastic bag, scissors, construction paper, origami paper, a pen, tape, raffia ribbon, and aluminum foil.

First, use the plastic bag and construction paper to make the ghost’s face, then attach arms and legs using the raffia ribbon and aluminum foil.

Adding air will give it a light, floating movement.

Decorate the ghost’s face with construction and origami paper and draw expressions to create a unique piece.

It would be fun to take your finished fluffy ghost out for a little walk!

Wobbly Ghost

[Craft Activity] Let's make cute little ghosts that wobble and sway!

Here’s a simple ghost craft idea you can make with a shopping bag.

First, cut off the bag’s handles with scissors.

Next, fold the bottom corners so the base becomes rounded, and secure them with tape.

The bag will become the ghost’s body, so draw a face on the open area.

Tie a piece of string to a disposable chopstick, and attach the other end of the string to the bottom of the bag.

When you hold the chopstick and move the bag up and down, air will fill the bag and the ghost will sway.

It’s very easy to make, so feel free to use it for children’s craft activities.

Halloween Characters Made with the Stencil Technique

Halloween Wall Display Craft (For Ages 4 and Up): A Preschool Teacher Explains an Easy Method Using the Stencil Technique
Halloween Characters Made with the Stencil Technique

Here’s a super cute craft to decorate your room wall.

We’ll use a stenciling technique, so let’s start by making a dauber.

Cut shapes out of construction paper—ghosts, pumpkins, and candy.

Place the stencil on black construction paper and secure it with masking tape, then gently dab on paint with a pouncing motion.

Keep dabbing until the color shows nicely.

Tip: add just a little water to the paint before using it.

Once it’s dry, peel off the stencil and draw the eyes and mouth.

Hang it up and enjoy it with the kids!

Let’s make a spider that’s perfect for Halloween decorations.

First, use a paper plate and white string to make a spiderweb.

Cut 10 evenly spaced slits around the rim of the paper plate.

Loop the string through the slits in a radial pattern to form the web.

For the spider, twist four chenille stems (pipe cleaners) together at the center, then glue a cotton ball onto the twisted spot.

Spread out the pipe cleaners to look like legs, and add googly-eye stickers.

Attach the spider to the web, punch a hole at the top of the paper plate, thread a pipe cleaner through, twist it into a loop, and you’re done.

You can also add other pieces besides the spider to give it an even more Halloween-like finish.

Speaking of autumn, kids just love Halloween, don’t they? How about a ghost craft that 1-year-olds can enjoy making? Prepare the parts like the ghost’s eyes, mouth, and hands in advance, and put double-sided tape on the back.

First, attach a sponge to the end of a chopstick and secure it with a rubber band.

Dip the sponge in white paint and use it to draw a big ghost on black construction paper.

Next, peel the backing off the tape on the parts and let the children stick them on.

Let them freely enjoy both drawing the ghost and placing the parts! You’ll end up with very unique and adorable ghosts.
