Glittering Ghost Wreath

[Halloween Craft • Nursery] How to Make a Sparkly Ghost Wreath Using a Paper Plate (For 3-Year-Olds)

Let’s make a sparkly ghost wreath using a paper plate.

Since we only want to use the rim, fold the plate in half and cut out the inner circle with scissors.

Cut the ghost parts out of construction paper and let the children draw the faces however they like.

Twist or tear aluminum foil into long strips and wrap them around the paper plate; once the white areas are covered, draw patterns on it with a pen.

Punch a hole at the top of the plate, thread a ribbon through, and attach the ghost parts to finish! The aluminum foil will sparkle, making the wreath look very festive.

[Halloween Craft] Pumpkin Candy Holder/Container/Box (Construction Paper) [Cute and Easy Craft] Jack-o'-Lantern

Here’s an idea for a candy bag inspired by a jack-o’-lantern.

You’ll make it using strips of construction paper.

Prepare four strips of construction paper all the same length, plus one strip that’s slightly longer.

First, form the long strip into a ring and secure it.

Next, take two of the equal-length strips, cross them into a plus sign, and attach both ends of each strip to the ring.

Attach the remaining two strips to fill in the gaps.

With the bag body complete, glue on facial features made from black construction paper.

Finally, tape on a string to serve as the handle, and you’re done.

It’s a cute bag that looks like it can hold lots of treats.

Pumpkin pouch

Halloween craft: pumpkin pochette (small shoulder bag)

Here’s how to make a pumpkin pochette that’s perfect for Halloween.

Pre-cut the facial features and other parts and put them in the bag ahead of time.

As children take the parts out of the bag and glue them on, they’ll develop their fine motor skills.

First, glue on the pumpkin’s face.

The placement of the eyes, nose, and other parts will give it personality.

Next, adjust the string to the right length and glue it in place as well.

Once it’s dry, it’s finished.

It’s important to think through the assembly process while working, too.

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.

[Preschool Crafts] Perfect for Halloween decorations! Swirly ghosts made from construction paper | Wrapping ghosts in construction paper

If you hang this up, the kids might be startled and shout, “A ghost is flying!” On a sheet of white construction paper, draw a spiral inspired by a snail and a ghost’s face.

Cut away any unnecessary parts with scissors, then cut along the lines to turn it into a long ghost shape.

Punch a hole in the ghost’s head, thread a string through, and secure it with tape so it doesn’t come off.

And that’s it—your twirly ghost is complete! Drawing the spiral is fun, but be careful: if you draw too many spirals, the cutting will become difficult.

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!
