[For 2-Year-Olds] Have Fun with Halloween Crafts! A Collection of Perfect October Ideas (1–10)
Stamp Ghost
A wallpaper craft where you stamp ghost shapes and then draw on them creates a unique texture that’s different from simply drawing lines and coloring.
Prepare paper cut out in the shape of a ghost, dab paint onto gauze or cotton, and apply it to the open cutout area to make an original Halloween-style ghost appear on your drawing paper.
Drawing faces on the stamped ghosts is sure to get kids excited.
It’s an enjoyable art project where you can also appreciate the different touches and preferences from younger children to older kids.
Pumpkin collage
A collage using hana-gami (tissue paper), known as a go-to material for paper pom-poms in event decorations, is a fun way to create colorful, three-dimensional pictures.
On construction paper cut into shapes like ghosts or pumpkins, scatter small pieces of your favorite colors of tissue paper that you’ve torn by hand, then mist with water from a spray bottle to create the base.
It’s enjoyable just to watch the tissue paper—which looked messy when placed—blend together with the water and transform into a gradation of tones.
Place eyes, mouths, and other features cut from colored paper onto the finished base, and the piece turns into an even more original picture—a craft that’s exciting throughout the process.
mask
In Japan, Halloween events are sometimes associated primarily with costume parties, and dressing up is fun for children too.
Full-scale costumes can be a lot of work, but simple eye masks made from paper plates are easy to make and highly recommended.
Since you’ll need to cut them into a mask shape with scissors, it’s best for an adult to do the cutting if younger children are participating.
Using freely painted masks to join a party or show them off with friends is sure to get everyone excited—it’s a Halloween craft that really captures the spirit of the season.
paper plate candy bucket
This is a simple craft for making the must-have Halloween candy bucket or bag out of paper plates.
Have your child draw or color on paper plates, then stack two plates together so an opening at the top can hold candy, attach a handle, and it’s done—easy for kids to try.
However, because a stapler is used to attach the plates and handle, an adult should supervise if small children are making it.
Filling a bucket decorated with their own original design with their favorite treats will help your child enjoy Halloween even more.
Finger painting
Finger painting, which lets you create wonderfully original artworks using just your fingertips, is a great Halloween craft because even very young children can do it.
Trace shapes like ghosts and pumpkins on construction paper, then dab paint onto them with your fingertips at random to make colorful art.
It’s so easy that you can adapt it not only for Halloween, but also for occasions like Tanabata and Christmas.
It’s a craft we highly recommend trying—your child’s freely colored creations will brighten any event.
Wobbly Ghost
A wobbly, swaying ghost made from a plastic bag is perfectly Halloween-y and fun to make using only familiar materials.
After cutting off the handles of a plastic bag you got from the supermarket, round the bottom to shape the ghost’s head, then connect the ghost to a pair of chopsticks with string—and you’re done.
It’s easy enough for small children to make.
Drawing a ghost face on the bag will add even more originality.
You’ll need to be careful at the point when scissors are used, but it’s a simple craft that’s great for helping kids get used to making things.
Handprint art
Halloween-themed art made with your child’s handprints or footprints is a one-of-a-kind keepsake that can only be created at that age.
When taking the prints, choose colors while imagining what character they’ll become, and simply paste them onto construction paper—this makes it easy for even small children to join in.
Cutting and pasting colored paper to match the character’s design will enhance the finished look, but be sure an adult helps when using scissors.
Since it’s a unique piece of art in the whole world, it’s sure to become a treasure even after Halloween is over.
