mask

Let's try making one for a Halloween party♪ A pumpkin mask

Let’s make a Halloween-themed pumpkin mask that lifts your spirits the moment you put it on! Cut the prepared construction paper into a square and fold it in half.

Fold it in half again, then open the pocket and flatten it.

Next, take one side of the opened pocket, fold it back to align with the center line, and crease it.

The trick is to shape it as you fold the edges backward.

Draw a jack-o’-lantern face, thread a string through holes made with a hole punch, tie it, and you’re done! Since it doesn’t require scissors or other tools, it’s a great craft to make with kids.

Wobbly Pumpkin

Handmade childcare video: “Halloween Craft” — “How to Make a Jack-o’-Lantern” #HowToMakeChildrensToys #Halloween

A cute pumpkin ornament… or so it seems, until you give it a little poke with your fingertip and it gently wobbles.

First, scribble any way you like on orange construction paper to create a pattern, then cut it into a pumpkin shape.

Cut a circle from thick black paper for the base, and decorate it with stickers and masking tape.

Once decorated, fold it in half and attach the pumpkin’s face to both the front and back.

It looks adorable just sitting there, but you’ll find yourself wanting to poke it—your wobbly pumpkin is complete.

mobile

Just hang it up! Halloween vibes: Pumpkin mobile

A pumpkin mobile is all you need to hang up at your Halloween party venue to instantly create a festive atmosphere.

First, fold a sheet of orange construction paper in half and draw only half of the pumpkin’s face.

Next, carefully cut along the line with scissors.

After that, just hang it with a string and it’s done! When drawing the pumpkin, you can enjoy customizing it by changing the expressions.

You can line up several small mobiles, or try making a single eye-catching piece.

When having children do the craft, it’s a good idea to assist them only with the cutting parts that require scissors.

Swirly Drawing! Halloween Card

A Halloween card you can make just by coloring in swirls 🎃

Swirly Halloween cards that even small children can enjoy are great as gifts or simple message cards.

Make a template from thick paper and clip it onto your paper.

Then just let the child draw swirly lines, and a one-of-a-kind, very cute card is complete.

Prepare pens that are easy for children to hold—crayons, colored pencils, or markers—and start drawing.

Even if you reuse the same template, you won’t get the same colors or patterns each time, which is part of the charm of these cards.

Try making a one-and-only Halloween card of your own!
