Halloween lantern

Here’s an introduction to making Halloween lanterns from plastic bottles.
When cutting the bottle, lightly warm the utility knife to get a clean edge.
At that time, be sure to wipe off any soot thoroughly with a cloth dampened with water.
If you draw your own original design, you’ll end up with a one-of-a-kind lantern that’s really fun.
When you put in a tea light, the cute design will glow.
It should look beautiful if you turn on the light in a darkened room.
They’re also great as decorations to set out on Halloween.
Try making various lanterns by changing the size of the plastic bottles!
A witch flying in the sky

Here’s an idea for making a movable artwork called “The Flying Witch.” First, use crayons to draw a full moon and stars on the base sheet of drawing paper.
Next, make a witch and a ghost out of origami, and a witch’s house out of construction paper.
Since the witch has a few fiddly steps, it might be better for an adult to demonstrate while working.
Then make the witch’s broom out of construction paper, thread a string through the handle, and attach the witch to the broom.
Place it on the base, and tape both ends of the string to the back of the base to secure it.
Finally, glue the ghost and the witch’s house onto the base, and you’re done.
Slide the broom’s handle left and right to make the witch fly across the picture and have fun!
Witch’s Hat

Here’s how to make a simple and cute witch’s hat.
Punch holes in a sector-shaped piece of black construction paper and thread a ribbon in your favorite color through them.
Be careful about how you weave the ribbon.
Finally, tie the ribbon ends, snip small slits along the edge with scissors, then insert a round sheet of paper with the center cut out from the top to finish.
You’ll transform into an adorable, stylish witch! This witch’s hat will make you a hit at Halloween.
Give it a try and let’s all get into witch mode together!

Halloween Puppet
https://www.tiktok.com/@hoikushi_bank/video/7008469176218094850Here’s an introduction to chatty puppets: a ghost mummy and a ghost pumpkin.
First, fold construction paper and round off the four corners with scissors.
Use a felt-tip pen to draw a mummy pattern and add eyes.
Attach a red paper mouth, make the puppet’s handle, and in no time your chatty puppet is ready! Make the pumpkin ghost puppet the same way.
Be sure to try making them and play pretend conversations! Even kids who are scared of Halloween ghosts will feel at ease with such cute, talkative ghosts!
Halloween Paper-Cut Stamp
Let’s use paper-cut stamps to make lots of Halloween motifs! Combine two plastic bottle caps to create the base of the stamp, then cut cushion tape to form pumpkin and ghost faces.
It’s a detailed task, but letting five-year-olds express themselves freely will nurture their imagination! Create the Halloween motifs by cutting colored origami paper with scissors.
Preparing simple cutting patterns will make it easier for five-year-olds to participate.
Stamping the motifs made from origami—popping the stamp on again and again—is so much fun that the kids are sure to be completely absorbed!

The Halloween season is coming! Speaking of Halloween, pumpkins are a must, right? Here’s a fun way for 4-year-olds to make a jack-o’-lantern.
You’ll need newspaper, glue, and origami paper in your favorite pumpkin colors.
How to make it: First, make six “candies” out of newspaper.
Gather one end of each candy and fold it inward.
Then gather the other end at the top, and your pumpkin is complete! After that, use origami paper in your favorite colors to decorate and enjoy making your very own original pumpkin.
Pumpkin candy bag

When it comes to Halloween, the best part for kids is the candy, right? Here’s a “pumpkin candy bag” that even a 4-year-old can make.
You’ll need a milk carton, a stapler, scissors, glue or double-sided tape, and colored construction paper.
First, open up the milk carton, make 6 cm cuts, and assemble it into a pentagon.
Using a stapler at this stage will make it sturdier.
Next, decorate the assembled box with pumpkin designs using your favorite colored paper, attaching it with glue or double-sided tape.
Finally, use the leftover milk carton to make a handle—and you’re done! Pop your favorite treats inside and enjoy Halloween!
