Halloween decoration ideas that are fun for childcare! Transform your walls with crafts made together with the kids (41–50)
papercut pumpkin
This is a paper-cutting craft with a Halloween pumpkin motif that lets you enjoy clever cutting techniques and ideas.
Fold a sheet of origami paper in half three times, draw your illustration, and then cut it out.
When cutting out parts like the eyes, nose, and mouth, it’s recommended that a childcare professional handle that step.
Alternatively, you can cut out just the pumpkin silhouette and have the children either glue on facial features or draw them.
You can display the finished piece as is, or use it for a garland or hanging decoration—both are great project ideas.

origami
A simple and very cute bat.
The way to make it is very simple: fold it into a triangle and then open up the ends.
Don’t you think it’s a bit similar to how you fold a crane? With just a little tweak, it can become either a crane or a bat—origami is amazing, isn’t it? Once you’ve made the bat, try making a ghost or a pumpkin too.
They’re all easy to make and super cute.
If you draw on the face, you can enjoy all kinds of variations—smiling or crying expressions, bared fangs, and more!
Origami Ghost Pumpkin
Origami decorations are easy to try using things you already have at home, like origami paper, glue, and scissors, so they’re perfect when you want to make lots of decorations in a short time.
Among them, origami ghost pumpkins are a top pick: once you learn the steps, they’re simple yet look impressively polished.
There are many ways to add the pumpkin’s grooves and draw the facial features, so check out YouTube videos and choose a method that suits you.
Start by drawing the face with a marker, and when you get tired of the same design, try cutting out the facial parts with scissors for a fun variation!
Oni made with origami
How about making ogre decorations using origami to brighten up nursery and kindergarten walls? With simple folding steps, children can join in the crafting.
For younger kids who can’t fold yet, they can still participate by drawing eyes, a nose, and horns on the origami ogre faces.
It’s a wall decoration idea featuring ogres that everyone can enjoy with a variety of fun variations.
origami black cat
Cats are very popular animals among small children.
Cats have a cute image, but simply making one with black origami paper instantly turns it into a Halloween-style decoration.
Also, the steps for making an origami cat use various folding techniques, which has the educational benefit of helping children develop dexterity.
By the way, there’s a final step where you stick on the eyes; if your child tries it and finds it difficult, having a white pen ready makes it easy to finish the facial features.
yarn pumpkin
When it comes to Halloween, pumpkins are a must.
So here’s a craft I’d like to introduce: making yarn pumpkins.
First, wrap yellow yarn around a fork.
Then thread yarn through the center and tie it to form a pumpkin shape.
Add a stem using green yarn.
For the finished pumpkins, I recommend threading them onto pipe cleaners to make a wreath.
You can also add a magnet and stick them on a chalkboard as another fun variation.
Start by making lots of them and then think about how you want to use them!
3D Halloween pumpkin
When it comes to decorating for a Halloween event, you’ll come up with all kinds of ideas, but pumpkins are definitely a must, aren’t they? In the same way, you can prepare multiple pieces of colored paper cut into pumpkin shapes and glue them together to create a three-dimensional object.
Of course, flat illustrations can also brighten up the event, but making it three-dimensional helps create a more pumpkin-like form, so it’s highly recommended.
It’s easy to make, so if you work on it with your children, it’s sure to boost the excitement from the preparation stage.
