Halloween decoration ideas that are fun for childcare! Transform your walls with crafts made together with the kids (41–50)
Spider web wreath
Here’s a spiderweb wreath I highly recommend as a Halloween party decoration.
Using a paper plate, let’s easily make a wreath.
First, cut out the center of the paper plate so you’re left with just the rim, and make several small slits around that rim.
On the remaining rim, attach Halloween-themed decorations—like jack-o’-lanterns and bats—made from origami or construction paper.
It’s also a great idea to add small torn pieces of origami paper as confetti-like decorations or use Halloween-themed stickers.
After that, hook black yarn into the slits you made in the plate, crisscrossing it from different directions to form a spiderweb pattern, and you’re done! Add a ribbon and you can hang it on a wall or anywhere you like.
Title Flag
This is a method for making the classic title “HAPPY HALLOWEEN” out of construction paper.
Use scissors or a craft knife to cut the construction paper into the shapes of the letters.
A key point is to also make the backing pennants that go behind the letters.
Using black and orange construction paper is the most common approach, but adding purple or yellow also works well.
You can vary the size of each letter slightly, and for a fun twist, try inverting the colors of the backing and the letters for repeated characters like P or E.
Halloween paper fan
Why not try making a Halloween-themed paper fan, a classic decoration for parties? Divide a standard sheet of origami paper into four equal parts and use three pieces folded in an accordion style.
If dividing into quarters feels like too much work, you can save time by using smaller-sized origami paper.
Any steps involving scissors or a craft knife should always be done by an adult.
You can have the kids do the accordion folding, and let an adult assemble the pieces into a paper fan! Decorate them with Halloween motifs—orange for a jack-o’-lantern, black for a black cat or bat, and white for a mummy—to enjoy a festive look.
Halloween Origami
You often see wreaths around Christmastime.
It’s also a great idea to decorate with a Halloween-themed version of one.
You can even make it using only origami, so it’s perfect if you want the children to take the lead in a craft activity.
Another feature of this Halloween wreath is how easy it is to add originality.
Try placing a ghost in the center of the wreath, or a black cat—come up with whatever designs you like.
There are many folding instructions available online, so it’s a good idea to look those up as well.
Halloween lantern
When it comes to decorations that are both cute and practical, Halloween lanterns are a great choice.
They may seem difficult to make, but they’re surprisingly easy.
First, cut construction paper to your desired size, then cut it into an accordion shape.
Make several of these and glue them together to form the body.
For the top part where you attach a wire handle, using the core of a roll of cellophane tape is also recommended.
After that, just give it a cute face.
Using white construction paper to make a ghost lantern is a fun idea, too.
Felt Pumpkin Garland
Pumpkins are an essential motif for Halloween.
Even without a face design, they immediately evoke the Halloween vibe.
How about making a garland or hanging ornament featuring pumpkins? You can create a sense of dimension by layering and gluing egg-shaped pieces of felt.
Attach a stem, flowers, and leaves to finish the pumpkin, then line them up and glue them onto yarn.
Using felt also gives it a soft, cozy look, which is a nice touch.
Mickey Halloween hanging ornament
Here’s how to make a cute Mickey Halloween hanging decoration.
Prepare construction paper in black, pink, green, purple, orange, and yellow.
You’ll also need twine, glitter tape, clear tape, and double-sided tape.
First, cut two pieces of construction paper into Mickey shapes, attach twine to the back with clear tape, and stick them onto the glitter tape using double-sided tape.
For the parts, cut two circles each from the orange and yellow paper, fold them in half, apply glue, and accordion-fold them.
Using templates, cut out two pieces each for ghosts, candies, bats, and pumpkins.
Decorate the candies with round stickers.
After putting double-sided tape on the back of each part, stick them onto the glitter tape—and you’re done!
