Fun Halloween decoration ideas for childcare! Transform your walls by making them together with the kids

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.

♪ Original Song – Manual for First-Year Nursery Teachers – Manual for First-Year Nursery Teachers

Made with a stencil technique! Here’s an introduction to creating a Halloween wall display.

You’ll need tissues, chopsticks, paper towels, rubber bands, masking tape, a pen, a craft knife, paint, black construction paper, and printer paper.

First, make a tampo (dauber).

Next, draw Halloween-themed illustrations on the printer paper and cut them out.

Tape the printer paper in place with masking tape, then spread the paint using the dauber.

The key is to adjust the amount of water so you don’t use too much! After the paint dries, it would be fun to add details with crayons.

Halloween candy bottle

If you want to enjoy preparing for Halloween with your kids, why not make some candy bottles? Their unique look will build excitement as Halloween approaches! First, get some small empty bottles, like those from yogurt drinks, and fill them with candies that fit inside.

You can decorate the caps and the bottles with masking tape or stickers to create Halloween motifs like mummies and ghosts.

You can also display them around the room and eat them on Halloween day, or attach a string and use them as a fun accent for costumes—get creative and enjoy!

Newspaper print stamp Halloween pumpkin

These Halloween pumpkins made with newspaper stamps are perfect for October crafts! First, sketch a pumpkin shape on construction paper, fold it in half, and cut it out.

Next, layer it over black construction paper and temporarily tape the top to hold it in place.

Dab paint onto a balled-up piece of newspaper and stamp it on.

The colors pop more if you don’t dilute the paint with water, so give it a try! To finish, add motifs like a pumpkin face, bats, or ghosts.

Cutting out the pumpkin can be a bit tricky, but it will spark a 5-year-old’s imagination—so encourage them to give it a try!

Jack-o’-lantern made with a footprint

In October, many children look forward to Halloween.

So here’s a craft I’d like to introduce: “Jack-o’-lanterns made from footprints.” There are two main steps.

First, prepare white paper and orange paint.

Then apply the paint to the feet and press footprints onto the paper in a row.

This should create a silhouette that looks like a pumpkin.

Finally, add eye and mouth pieces to the pumpkin, and it’s done.

One of the charms of this idea is that when you look back at it later, you can feel how much the child has grown.

Origami: Easy Ghost

Speaking of summer, ghost stories that give you a cool chill are one of the seasonal traditions.

Many children also enjoy haunted houses at festival stalls.

With that in mind, here’s an origami ghost to introduce.

You only need a single sheet of origami paper, yet it captures the ghost’s shape nicely.

Add eyes and a mouth to finish it off.

It has a cute, picture-book-like feel, so even children who don’t like scary things can enjoy making it.

You can use any color you like, but light blue feels the most fitting.

Ghost garland

(Construction paper) How to make a Halloween decoration: ghost garland [DIY]

Ghosts, an essential Halloween motif, are often associated with floating in midair.

That floating-from-the-ground image pairs well with garlands, which are hanging decorations.

By shaping thin paper with sticks or clips to form the ghost’s outline and then attaching a surface layer of paper, you can create a three-dimensional ghost.

Because this structure leaves an empty space in the center, you can use that space to attach a string; you could also add beads so that it makes a sound when it sways, among other possible variations.
