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!
Spinning Ghost Mobile

This time, we’re introducing a ghost mobile craft using construction paper.
Cut out spiders and ghosts from the paper.
Make cute eyes and noses with stickers and stick them on, or draw them with pens.
If you use chenille stems (pipe cleaners) to make the spider’s legs, it looks like a real spider, and the kids will love the sparkly effect! It’s perfect for decorating the classroom or getting ready for Halloween.
Let’s make original ghosts together with the children and get everyone excited for Halloween! Give it a try!
Monster Cube

Here’s how to make big-eyed colorful monster cubes.
Cut transparent origami or cellophane and wrap it around square-cut sponges.
Stick on eye stickers and draw a mouth with a pen, and you’re done! Try using googly eyes to create cute monsters with different expressions.
Just displaying them gives a Halloween vibe, and kids will get interested in the monsters.
The soft, fluffy feel when you touch them is another nice point.
Be sure to gather lots of colorful monsters and have fun!

Perfect for Halloween! Ghost origami

After folding the origami into a triangle, open it, then fold the two left edges in to meet the crease.
Rotate the paper so that the newly formed point is at the bottom, and open the two opposing corners along the crease outward into triangles.
Fold the upper left and right edges in to meet the crease, then fold the top point down to the base of the triangle.
Slightly tuck the two top corners inward, then fold the bottom corner up to the left diagonally.
Unfold to set the crease, then fold the left edge of the triangle beneath the crease in to meet the crease.
Finally, fold up along the crease, and your ghost is complete.
