Handprint ghost
Handprints become ghost hands! This is an easy ghost wall art you can make with your child.
Paint your palm evenly with paint and press it onto paper to make a handprint.
Cut colored construction paper into ghost shapes and glue on the paper with the handprints cut out.
Finally, draw eyes and a mouth with crayons to finish.
Use both adult and child handprints to create a variety of cute ghosts in different sizes.
If you paint your child’s hand and take their handprint for them, they’ll be absolutely thrilled! Fill the wall with playful ghosts with spread-out hands using colorful paints.
3D ghost
A cute 3D ghost wall decoration that looks like it popped out of a picture book.
Cut paper into a ghost shape and make eight identical pieces.
Prepare one more of the same shape with hands attached to use as the backing.
Fold each of the eight pieces in half vertically and glue them together one half at a time to create a 3D ghost that opens 180 degrees.
Attach the expanded ghost to the hand-backed base, add the eyes, mouth, and cheeks, and it’s done.
Kids will be fascinated by the popping-out ghost— they’ll want to reach out and touch it.
Halloween hanging decoration
Let’s make hanging decorations of round pumpkin ghosts, mummies, and bats with origami.
Cut an orange sheet of origami paper into 16 thin strips, then cross and overlap the centers of 8 of the strips and round them into a ball.
Add eyes, mouth, and nose, and attach a loop at the top to finish.
Use white origami paper to turn it into a mummy! For the bat, cut wings from black origami paper and make the body into a tube to give it a three-dimensional look.
Thread them onto a paper string, and you’ll have a cute Halloween garland with dancing little ghosts! It’s also fun to vary the size of the origami to line up different-sized ghosts.

Halloween pumpkin with tissue paper
A Halloween pumpkin wall decoration made by crumpling tissue paper! The method is super simple: crumple orange tissue paper, put it into a clear plastic bag, shape it, and tie it with a pipe cleaner.
Stick eyes, a nose, and a mouth onto the side of the bag, and your pumpkin is done in no time.
You can stick it on the wall, but the drawstring-style look is so cute that tying it to a string and hanging it as a garland is also recommended.
If you crumple white tissue paper, you can make a ghost too—so be sure to try them together!
Torn-paper Halloween pumpkin
When it comes to big autumn events, Halloween tops the list! Decorate an entire wall with pumpkin motifs to boost the Halloween mood.
Cut colored construction paper into pumpkin shapes ahead of time.
After the children paste on the eyes and mouth pieces, have them add patterns to the pumpkins using small torn pieces of yellow or orange origami paper.
Once they’re done, attach a hat motif and display them on the wall to finish.
Be sure to try other Halloween motifs too, like witches, skeletons, and bats.
A colorful Halloween created by everyone
This is a Halloween wall display combining handprint ghosts from the 0-year-old class, footprint pumpkins from the 1-year-old class, and mummies from the 2-year-old class.
It brings together the infant classes’ works on a single wall.
Please pre-cut the ghosts, pumpkin vines and leaves, and mummies from construction paper.
For the white mummy strips, cut construction paper into long, thin pieces and have the 2-year-olds stick them on.
For the background, use rollers with the children to paint it purple and black to create atmosphere.
It’s also recommended to add a full moon, a castle, and bats alongside the artworks.
Halloween pumpkin, bats, and spider
When you use marble art to draw patterns based on Halloween motifs like pumpkins, bats, and spiders, the result is delightfully surreal! Line a box with drawing paper, then paint patterns on a pumpkin cutout with orange and yellow, and on bat and spider cutouts with black and gray.
Once you’ve achieved the patterns you like, take them out of the box, cut along each shape, and you’re done! Don’t you think the irregular patterns created by the marbles’ unpredictable movements perfectly match the slightly spooky Halloween vibe?
