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

Making a Halloween costume

[Ages 0–2] Halloween Costumes — Absorbed in a Candy Hunt

Halloween is becoming a big event in Japan, too.

It’s a familiar occasion for children.

Let’s try making costumes perfect for Halloween! If a 2-year-old wants to make a simple costume, using plastic bags is recommended.

Use an orange bag to be a jack-o’-lantern, a white one to be a ghost, and a black one to be a witch.

Draw or stick on your favorite patterns, and you’ll have an easy Halloween costume ready in no time! Make sure an adult handles cutting the holes for the neck and arms.

Halloween cracker

[Halloween Craft] Let's Play with Paper Cup Poppers!! [Handmade Toy]

Let’s make a Halloween cracker with a paper cup! You’ll need a paper cup, a balloon, vinyl tape, and decorative pom-poms.

Cut out the bottom of the paper cup with your hand or scissors, then stretch a balloon—cut in half at the bulging part—over the opening.

Secure the balloon with vinyl tape so it doesn’t come off, and tie a knot at the balloon’s mouth.

Put the decorative pom-poms into the cup, pull back on the balloon, and release—just like a cracker, the pom-poms will pop out.

Add a Halloween touch by drawing a ghost face or other designs on the paper cup!

Halloween yo-yo

A Halloween Yo-Yo you can play with 🎃

Would you like to make and play with a Halloween-themed yo-yo? First, crumple some newspaper into the size you want for your yo-yo, then wrap it with orange origami paper.

Glue it so it doesn’t come off, and put it in a plastic bag.

Shape the bag to fit the newspaper inside and secure it with tape.

After closing the opening, wrap green origami paper around it and glue it.

Then have an adult tie a rubber band around it.

Add eyes, a nose, and a mouth made from construction paper, and your pumpkin yo-yo is complete! Try making different motifs, too.

Halloween Fukuwarai

[Kindergarten/Daycare] Try Decalcomania! October Halloween Pumpkin Funny-Face Art & Craft

Let’s make a Halloween “fukuwarai” using a technique called decalcomania.

Cut construction paper into a pumpkin shape, then fold it in half.

Open the paper, place paint in colors you like on one inside half, and fold it in half again.

Press firmly, then open it—the paint has transferred to the other side, creating a symmetrical pattern.

Attach a pumpkin stem made from green construction paper and a triangular hat made from origami to finish the base.

Finally, cut out the pumpkin’s facial features from black construction paper.

As a booth activity for a Halloween event, making a larger version could be a big hit!

Pumpkin made with finger painting

[Let’s make it with kids] Halloween Pumpkin Finger Painting 🎃 #PreschoolCrafts #ChildcareWorker #ChildcareIdeas #FutureChildcareWorkers #ChildcareLife #Crafts #WithKids #WallDisplayArt #ConstructionPaper #Paint

Here’s a pumpkin craft made with finger painting.

First, prepare a clear zip-top bag and a sheet of construction paper cut to fit the size of the bag.

Next, dab paints in pumpkin-like colors—yellow, orange, and brown—onto the paper, then place the paper inside the bag and seal it.

Let the children use their fingers over the bag to freely spread the paint and enjoy the sensation of mixing colors.

Not only can they experience the feel of the paint and the changes in color, but it’s also great for developing fine motor skills.

Finally, remove the paper from the bag, have the teacher cut it into a pumpkin shape, and draw a face to finish.

Displaying them around the room will instantly boost everyone’s excitement for Halloween.
