Halloween craft ideas: perfect for preschool projects and home decor

Swirly Ghost made with Yarn and a Paper Carton

A swirly ghost made with yarn and a paper carton gives off a warm, cozy look.

Its tactile feel is part of the charm, too.

Adjust the size of the ghost you want to make using the paper carton and create the base.

Then wrap your choice of yarn around it from the top.

By wrapping more times, the ghost gains volume and turns into a plump, gentle-looking figure.

Mixing yarn colors or adding sparkly beads and shiny stickers is also recommended.

Finish by attaching eye stickers, and it’s complete.

“How to Make a Ghost Puppet” — A Sewing Machine Just Right for Parenting / An Even Better Sewing Machine for Parenting

The “Ghost Puppet,” made by sewing together white and black felt with a sewing machine, is a handmade puppet idea that can be enjoyed at nurseries and kindergartens.

The ghost’s body is securely stitched by machine, and the eyes and mouth are attached with glue using felt, making it durable and long-lasting—safe for small children to play with.

If you show the sewing machine in action during the process, it will spark children’s curiosity, and the finished puppet will be a hit in pretend play and performances.

It’s a perfect craft for seasonal events like Halloween, and a recommended idea for childcare workers and parents.

Lollipop of the Ghost

Let’s make ghost lollipops to get into the Halloween spirit.

First, create a ghost out of white construction paper.

If the kids are fairly used to crafts, they can make it freely.

Next, dye some paper towels with paint.

Using a dropper to drip the paint makes it easier to dye and keeps cleanup simple.

Since the paint will become the color of the candy, it’s best to prepare bright colors.

Once the paper towels are dry, twist them into a stick shape, then wind them around and glue them onto a piece of thick paper that will serve as the base.

You’ll need several sheets of paper towel, so dyeing extra in advance will give you peace of mind.

Finally, attach the candy stick and the ghost to the candy, and you’re done!

Spider web decoration

Let’s make spider web decorations together with 4–5-year-olds.

First, cut the rim of a paper cup in a wavy line and draw a face to make a ghost.

Next, crumple some tissue paper, wrap it with patterned paper to make a candy.

Then paint wooden sticks white, arrange four of them like spokes, and glue them together.

The key is to attach them firmly with glue.

To make the spider, wrap black yarn around a plastic fork about 50 times, secure it, then cut with scissors to make a pom-pom.

Use pipe cleaners to create the spider’s legs and attach them to the pom-pom.

For the finishing touch, weave white thread around the wooden sticks to form a spider web, then attach all the items you made to complete the decoration.

mini lantern

Here’s an introduction to making a mini lantern using an R-1 plastic bottle.

It looks just like a real lantern, but it’s easy to make, so give it a try! First, cut the bottle into three equal parts; you won’t use the middle section, so recycle it.

Wrap black masking tape around the cut edges of the top and bottom sections, and cover the entire bottom section with the tape to make it black.

Finally, cover the cap with tape, make a hole in it, and attach a chenille stem (pipe cleaner) as a handle to finish.

It looks cute if you put ghost stickers or other decals on the clear part.

Place a candle-style LED light inside and enjoy.
