Irresistible for 5-year-olds! A collection of recommended craft ideas for Halloween

pumpkin bag

Making a Halloween bag with my 1-year-4-month-old 🎃 | Trick or treating at home 👻 | Halloween Crafts 2022

Here’s a cute pumpkin bag you can make simply with a paper cup.

First, prepare orange construction paper and cut it into a rectangle: one side should match the circumference of the paper cup’s base, and the other should be slightly longer than the height of the cup.

Crease the paper, then make multiple slits so it becomes long, narrow strips.

Apply double-sided tape along one long edge of the paper and attach it to the bottom of the paper cup.

Tape the opposite slit edge to the inside of the cup’s rim, keeping it slightly loose and puffy.

Finally, attach the pumpkin face pieces and a handle, and you’re done.

As shown in the video, take your time explaining how to use the tools and materials, respect your child’s “I want to try!” attitude, and support them so they can take on the challenge.

Curly Yarn Ghost

Halloween Craft: Twirly Yarn Ghosts

You often end up with lots of empty toilet paper rolls, right? In this Halloween craft, we’ll use toilet paper rolls to make mummies and jack-o’-lanterns.

If you want to add faces or stick colored origami paper onto the roll, draw or paste them on first.

After that, wrap yarn around the roll; making a small slit in the roll will help hold the yarn in place.

You can also make a black cat or a cute Frankenstein—create and decorate to your heart’s content!

Pumpkin made with accordion folding

Halloween Crafts Yakushiji Kindergarten

Here’s how to make a jack-o’-lantern using colored construction paper.

First, accordion-fold orange construction paper.

Fold it in half and attach the seam with double-sided tape.

Make three identical pieces, stick them together with double-sided tape, and form a circle.

Attach the pre-cut eyes, nose, and mouth with double-sided tape.

Finally, add a pipe-cleaner handle, and it’s done.

If you use black construction paper, you can make a black cat, too.

If you’re using origami paper, you’ll need four accordion-folded parts.

It’s super cute, so give it a try!

Pumpkins made with torn-paper collage

[Halloween Craft!] Jack-o'-Lantern Torn-Paper Collage 🎃🦇 #PreschoolCrafts #NurseryTeacher #TeachingIdeas #TraineeTeacher #TeacherLife #Easy #TornPaperArt #Origami #Halloween #HalloweenCrafts

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

[Halloween Craft] 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!
