Bat bag

[Craft] 3 Halloween Bag Ideas [Daycare/Kindergarten]

A bat-shaped bag—an essential icon for Halloween—is a craft that balances an eerie vibe with a cute finish.

It’s easy enough for young children: roll black construction paper into a tube so that only one end comes to a point, and secure the shape with clear tape to complete the bag.

For a more realistic look, you can cut the paper into a more bat-like shape with scissors and add wings and a face, but since this involves cutting and gluing, adults should supervise younger children.

It’s a craft that kids will enjoy even after Halloween, and there’s no doubt they’ll be thrilled to fill the bag they made themselves with treats.

Jack-o’-lantern

Halloween at the Harappa parent–child class for 2-year-olds at Wako Tsurukawa Kindergarten

Speaking of jack-o’-lanterns, they’re the very icon that evokes Halloween itself, aren’t they? A craft where you use construction paper to shape a three-dimensional pumpkin and draw whatever face you like is sure to get kids excited.

For younger children, forming the pumpkin shape can be tricky, so dividing roles between parent and child to make it together can be fun too.

It’s a craft that lets you experience the joy and festivity of Halloween, as the piece you create together brightens up the party.

A ghost picture with sponge stamps

[Kindergarten/Preschool] Full of individuality with all kinds of ghosts! Ghost-themed drawings and crafts

Ghost pictures painted with a sponge are a craft that, thanks to the sponge’s texture, can create the ghostly transparency and eeriness befitting a specter.

Just fix a sponge to a stick such as a disposable chopstick with a rubber band, dab it in paint, and apply it to black construction paper to form the ghost’s shape—fun for all ages.

Adding cut-out eyes and a mouth to the sponge-painted ghost makes it even cuter, and placing them freely—not only in the usual face positions—can give it a unique, original look.

If a child is too young to make the stamp part on their own, an adult should prepare it for them.

Halloween Art

[Kindergartens and Nurseries] Halloween Art and Crafts Made with Handprints in October

Halloween art that centers on your child’s handprint as of October—the Halloween season—is a once-in-a-lifetime craft that can only be made at that particular age.

Start by applying orange paint to the palm and green paint to one finger, then press onto the paper to create a pumpkin-like handprint.

By adding free decorations around the handprint using origami and other materials, you’ll complete a one-of-a-kind art piece that exists only for that year’s Halloween.

Since it changes as your child grows, it’s a project we hope you’ll make every year during the Halloween season.

Black cat on a paper roll core

[Halloween Crafts] Easy with Paper Rolls! 7 Halloween Craft Ideas and How to Make Them [Nursery/Kindergarten]

This Halloween-themed craft uses a toilet paper roll to make a cute black cat decoration.

Simply wrap the toilet paper roll with black construction paper, glue on eyes made from the same paper, and draw whiskers with a white marker—easy enough for small children to make their own black cat object.

If you flatten the top of the roll so it looks like ears, you can give it an even more realistic look.

It’s a fun decoration to make in large numbers with friends, since it’s simple and requires only a few materials.

♬ Thomasson – Macaroni Empitsu

How about making a craft like this to help improve dexterity? Apply glue to a white sheet of construction paper that’s been pre-cut into a pumpkin shape.

Then, use your fingers to tear small pieces of flower paper in orange, green, yellow, and other colors, and stick them on.

Tearing by hand and thoughtfully placing the pieces provides great stimulation for both the hands and the brain, so it’s an activity I highly recommend.

Finally, mist it with water to help everything blend nicely.

Once it’s dry, attach eyes, a nose, and a mouth cut from black construction paper, and you’re done.
