Pumpkin made with finger painting
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.
Halloween bag made from a plastic bottle
When it comes to Halloween, treats are an absolute must for kids! Here, we’ll introduce a simple “Halloween candy bucket made from a plastic bottle” that you can make with a 2-year-old.
The prep is easy: first, cut off the bottom part of a plastic bottle.
Next, punch holes to thread a ribbon through.
Wrap the cut edge with vinyl tape or similar so children don’t hurt their hands.
Then just put double-sided tape on the Halloween decorations you’ve made from origami or construction paper! After that, thread the ribbon together with the kids and let them add any decorations they like, and it’s done!
Pompon Pumpkin
Two-year-olds show a wide range of developmental growth, and they’re starting to enjoy simple verbal exchanges.
Here’s a craft that lets you enjoy those little conversations while you create: the Pom-Pom Pumpkin.
First, crumple orange tissue paper.
Put it into a bag and tie the top.
Finally, stick on the face parts, and your cute pumpkin is complete! This activity uses familiar materials and lets children enjoy colors and textures as they express themselves—perfect for two-year-olds.
mummy man
This craft turns a mummy—whose eerie, bandage-wrapped look can scare children—into a cute decoration.
Simply glue black paper and eyes onto a toilet paper roll, then wrap the roll with white paper tape, and you’re done.
It’s easy to make.
In fact, the tape can be wrapped messily for a more realistic finish, so younger children who aren’t good at neat, orderly crafting may find it more natural to create.
Just be careful not to cover the eyes completely—otherwise it will just look like a roll of toilet paper—so an adult should keep an eye on that.
Monster mask
The expressions of children peeking into holes during play are so adorable.
These Halloween masks are easy to make with paper plates.
Cut out the nose and eye areas of the paper plate, then paint it and let it dry.
Use the leftover cut pieces of the plate to make ears or eyes, and glue them on as you like.
Attach a chopstick as a handle, and your mask is complete.
You can also make monsters, jack-o’-lanterns, and witches, and set them up as a photo spot to make it even more fun.
glowing jack-o’-lantern
Let’s make a glowing pumpkin lantern using a paper cup.
Prepare a clear paper cup and cover it with decorative wrap from the top.
If you don’t have orange wrap, you can layer red and yellow wrap instead.
Trim any excess wrap sticking out from the cup with scissors, then attach eyes and a mouth made from construction paper.
Place an LED candle inside and your lantern is ready! It also looks cute with a little witch hat on top.
This idea could work with lots of other motifs besides pumpkins, too.
Hole Punch Art
This is a craft that uses a hole punch—the kind adults use for organizing papers.
First, choose as many sheets of construction paper as you like in your preferred colors and make the “materials” by punching holes in them.
Apply glue all over a piece of construction paper cut into the shape of a pumpkin, then mix the punched pieces and spread them randomly across the surface.
You’ll end up with a colorful, one-of-a-kind pumpkin.
You can use the same method for Easter, Christmas, and other themes, so consider using it as inspiration for crafts with young children.
