Handprint Art for Halloween

How to Make Handprint Art! Enjoy Halloween ♡

Halloween-themed art made with your child’s handprints or footprints is a one-of-a-kind keepsake that can only be created at that age.

When taking the prints, choose colors while imagining what character they’ll become, and simply paste them onto construction paper—this makes it easy for even small children to join in.

Cutting and pasting colored paper to match the character’s design will enhance the finished look, but be sure an adult helps when using scissors.

Since it’s a unique piece of art in the whole world, it’s sure to become a treasure even after Halloween is over.

Wreath of nuts and berries

[Autumn Craft for Ages 2–3] A Preschool Teacher’s Easy Guide to Making a Wreath with Nuts and Seeds!

Perfect for autumn decorations! Here’s an idea for making a wreath with natural materials.

Prepare a wreath base in advance by making one out of cardboard or similar.

For the materials, try using nuts and seed pods you picked up on a walk, such as acorns or dawn redwood cones.

Once everything is ready, have the children cut decorative items like pipe cleaners and lace with scissors and stick them onto the base.

Finally, an adult should make a hole at the top of the base, thread a ribbon through, and tie it to finish.

It also makes a great autumn wall decoration.

paper plate candy bucket

[Nursery/Kindergarten] 6 Halloween Crafts! Paper Plate Craft Ideas and How-To! Let’s Make a Treat Bag♪

This is a simple craft for making the must-have Halloween candy bucket or bag out of paper plates.

Have your child draw or color on paper plates, then stack two plates together so an opening at the top can hold candy, attach a handle, and it’s done—easy for kids to try.

However, because a stapler is used to attach the plates and handle, an adult should supervise if small children are making it.

Filling a bucket decorated with their own original design with their favorite treats will help your child enjoy Halloween even more.

Halloween Art

[Kindergartens and Nurseries] Halloween Art and Crafts Made with Handprints in October

Halloween art that centers on your child’s handprint as of October—the Halloween season—is a once-in-a-lifetime craft that can only be made at that particular age.

Start by applying orange paint to the palm and green paint to one finger, then press onto the paper to create a pumpkin-like handprint.

By adding free decorations around the handprint using origami and other materials, you’ll complete a one-of-a-kind art piece that exists only for that year’s Halloween.

Since it changes as your child grows, it’s a project we hope you’ll make every year during the Halloween season.

The autumn-colored caterpillar

Speaking of caterpillars, we usually think of green ones, but caterpillars dressed in autumn colors are adorable too.

Let’s make a version of the beloved children’s book character, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, using fall foliage colors.

On a sheet of white construction paper, you’ll stamp circles—but the stamp is a blown-up balloon.

Mix a few paints in your favorite autumn shades, press the balloon lightly into the paint, then dab and twist it on the paper to make circles.

Even two-year-olds can have fun bouncing the balloon to stamp! Cut out the circles, add a face, and it’s complete.

Making a Halloween costume

Halloween is becoming a big event in Japan, too.

It’s a familiar occasion for children.

Let’s try making costumes perfect for Halloween! If a 2-year-old wants to make a simple costume, using plastic bags is recommended.

Use an orange bag to be a jack-o’-lantern, a white one to be a ghost, and a black one to be a witch.

Draw or stick on your favorite patterns, and you’ll have an easy Halloween costume ready in no time! Make sure an adult handles cutting the holes for the neck and arms.

♬ Crazy Party Night – Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

Here’s a cute Halloween craft to try.

You’ll need: a paper plate, tissue paper, OPP tape (cellophane tape with a wide adhesive surface), scissors, and pictures of candy.

The steps are very simple: First, cut out the center of the paper plate with scissors.

From the back of the plate, attach the OPP tape so that the adhesive side faces the front.

Next, turn the plate face up and roll small pieces of tissue paper, then stick them around the rim onto the double-sided tape.

If you cover the OPP tape with parchment paper at this stage, the tissue paper won’t stick to the adhesive area, making it easier for kids to work! Add eyes to the tissue paper to turn it into a monster, then freely stick the candy illustrations onto the OPP tape area to “feed” the monster—and you’re done!
