Pumpkin gift bag

[Halloween Origami] How to Fold a Simple and Cute Halloween Gift Bag

This is a Halloween gift bag you can fill with treats like candy and chocolate.

Why not make an item that’s perfect for saying “Trick or treat!” on Halloween or for giving as a gift to children? Take a sheet of origami paper, fold about one-third of it vertically, apply double-sided tape, and fold so the edges overlap.

Next, fold up about 3 cm from the bottom, then fold so the left and right sides come to the inside.

Fold the top and bottom corners toward the center, secure with tape, and your bag is complete.

Try drawing pumpkins or ghosts to match the color of your origami paper.

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.

bat

Origami: Bat 2

Here’s an origami bat that’s perfect for Halloween events at nurseries and kindergartens.

Display it together with pumpkins and ghosts to create a festive Halloween atmosphere.

Prepare black origami paper, then first fold it in half so a vertical crease is formed.

After making the crease, open the paper horizontally and fold it in half again.

Next, fold the paper back until the corner sticks out slightly, then fold the left and right corners toward the center corner.

Open the folded left and right sections to set the creases, then flip the piece over and fold back the top corner to finish.

Adding eye pieces is also a cute crafting idea.

Pumpkins made with torn-paper collage

[Halloween Craft!] Jack-o'-Lantern Torn-Paper Collage 🎃🦇 #PreschoolCrafts #NurseryTeacher #TeachingIdeas #TraineeTeacher #TeacherLife #Easy #TornPaperArt #Origami #Halloween #HalloweenCrafts

We’re introducing a fun torn-paper pumpkin craft.

The method is very simple: freely tear orange and yellow origami paper into pieces.

Then glue the torn pieces onto a sheet of construction paper that’s been cut into the shape of a pumpkin.

Finally, draw the pumpkin’s face and you’re done.

Tearing paper play helps develop children’s fine motor skills and provides great sensory stimulation.

It’s very easy and requires only a few supplies, so enjoy making a cute pumpkin together with your one-year-old!

Fluffy Ghost

Ghost crafts recommended for ages 1 and up—even for Halloween | Indoor play ideas

For two-year-olds, it’s the perfect age to learn lots of hand-based actions.

Tearing paper and putting it into a bag is great for fine motor skills and the brain.

For this little ghost, just tear flower paper into small pieces, put them into a clear plastic bag, and shape it with tape.

Finally, draw the facial features with a permanent marker, add a hat or other decorations, and it’s done.

These fluffy, tactile ghosts look adorable when you stick several on the wall.

Have fun making them!

skeleton

[Origami Easy Halloween ③] Skeleton – How to make an origami skeleton.

Making origami skulls is a wonderful craft that enhances the Halloween atmosphere.

Even with simple folding techniques, children’s imaginations can bring a variety of expressions to life.

Of course, you can use white origami paper, but trying colorful paper can be fun too.

For the eyes and nose, it’s also a great idea to add personality by sticking on paper in your favorite colors or drawing them with markers.

Once finished, you can display the skulls around the room, or attach a straw to carry them around for extra fun.

Halloween Characters Made with the Stencil Technique

Halloween Wall Display Craft (For Ages 4 and Up): A Preschool Teacher Explains an Easy Method Using the Stencil Technique

Here’s a super cute craft to decorate your room wall.

We’ll use a stenciling technique, so let’s start by making a dauber.

Cut shapes out of construction paper—ghosts, pumpkins, and candy.

Place the stencil on black construction paper and secure it with masking tape, then gently dab on paint with a pouncing motion.

Keep dabbing until the color shows nicely.

Tip: add just a little water to the paint before using it.

Once it’s dry, peel off the stencil and draw the eyes and mouth.

Hang it up and enjoy it with the kids!
