Let’s look for cute monsters! Here’s a Halloween flashlight craft idea to light up the darkness.

You’ll need black construction paper, white construction paper, colored paper, a clear pocket, a permanent marker, and scissors.

First, cut the black construction paper to the size of the clear pocket, then draw Halloween-themed monsters on the clear pocket with the permanent marker.

Cut the colored paper into the shape of a flashlight and attach it to the light beam cut from the white paper, and you’re done! It looks like a fun guessing game to figure out which monsters are hiding.

A wall display of Halloween monsters made with water balloons

We’re introducing a colorful and pop-style Halloween monster craft using water balloons.

The method is super simple! Prepare water balloons, construction paper, and paint, and have the kids hold the water balloons.

Dip the water balloons in paint in any colors they like, then dab them onto the construction paper like stamps.

Finish by sticking on googly-eye stickers.

Using dark-colored construction paper like black or navy makes the paint colors stand out even more and creates a Halloween vibe.

Try making lots of cute monsters full of personality!

Target Shooting Game: Halloween Version

This is a Halloween version of a well-known target game for preschool settings.

With ideas kids are sure to love—like a “Stretchy Mummy Stick” made from a straw and origami paper, a “Bat Shooter” made from a milk carton and rubber bands, and a “Monster Air Cannon” made from a plastic bottle and a balloon.

The instructions for each are simple, so why not let the children choose one and make it together? If you’re making targets, prepare some construction paper.

Place the target on top of a paper cup filled with candy, and if they manage to knock the target down, they get the candy— guaranteed to get everyone excited!

Ghosts made of clay

@haruharo_made

Halloween craft / Clay Halloween ghosts 👻 The sensation when you stretch the clay is irresistible! The kids are super curious, too! We’re using Daiso’s Smooth Clay. It’s really sticky, so it adheres well to construction paper with just the clay, and after it dries it doesn’t crumble—mysteriously turns into a soft, mochi-like texture! [Notes] • This craft may make the construction paper a bit flimsy.

When you find a ghost that looks fluffy to the touch, you can’t help but want to feel it, right? For this Halloween ghost, press some clay onto construction paper, then stretch it out with your hands and let it dry.

Once it’s dry, draw the eyes and mouth with colored pens, decorate around it as you like, and you’re done.

Be careful not to draw before it dries, as the colored pens may bleed.

Kids will likely be excited to try this new way of using clay.

Enjoy the feel of the clay as you dive into your Halloween craft!

A pumpkin that breaks after five folds

[Halloween Origami] Super Easy! How to Fold a Pumpkin in 5 Steps

A Halloween pumpkin you can make with just five folds of origami.

It’s also fun to decorate the finished piece with pens or crayons, or draw a jack-o’-lantern face.

The steps are simple: fold the origami in sequence with the colored side facing down.

With the paper turned to a diamond orientation, fold the top corner toward the center.

Next, make small folds on the left and right corners, and finally fold the bottom corner up to the center, then fold it back until a little point sticks out—done! This is a great origami craft for 2-year-olds to practice fine motor skills.

Ghost candy container

[Preschool Craft] Perfect for making a Halloween bag! Cute ghost tote

Let’s make a ghost-themed candy holder that’s perfect for Halloween events.

Cut your favorite color construction paper into a fan shape, roll it into a cone, and glue it in place.

This will be the body of the bag—and the ghost’s body too.

Attach eyes, mouth, and hand parts made from other sheets of paper, then punch two holes at the top of the bag.

Thread a ribbon through the holes and tie it to create the handle, and your candy holder is complete.

You can draw the ghost’s face with crayons, or decorate it with stickers for an extra cute touch.
