Halloween Craft Ideas

When Halloween is around the corner, there’s no better time to flex your creative muscles! If you’re short on inspiration, here are some creative Halloween craft ideas to get you inspired. Try these ideas with your kids to have a real Halloween Blast!

Soaps with Spiders

For this activity, you’ll need a transparent glycerine soap, microwavable jar, plastic spider, soap mould, soap colour and some scented oil.

Place the soap in a microwave-friendly jar or a measuring cup. Melt it in a microwave. The soap should melt completely.

Switch off after 5 seconds and stir the soap to check if it has melted completely. If not, microwave it again for 5 seconds. Continue for 5 more seconds if the soap has not melted completely.

Once the soap is completely melted, add a few drops of soap colour and scented oil, and stir the mixture.

Now, put the plastic spider in the soap mould. Pour the melted soap on it and allow it to cool. The soap can take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour to cool. Once they have cooled, your kids can enjoy the spooky spider soaps.

Scary Skeleton Hands  

Let your kids paint their hands and wrists white. Take a print of the hand and wrist on a thick black paper. Allow it to dry. Have the kids stick some cotton swabs on the print so that it resembles a skeleton’s hand. A truly spooky Halloween craft idea!

Eerie Lollypops

This Halloween crafty idea makes a ghostly treat!

Take a lollipop and wrap tissue paper around it. Hold the tissue in place with an elastic band. Cover the elastic band with a ribbon. Your ghost head is ready! Add a pair of eyes using a black marker.

Use two tissue papers so that the lollypop is not visible when someone sees the tiny ghost. Use a thickly-folded tissue and wrap once again in a bigger fully-open tissue.

Use ribbons in Halloween colours. For example, you could go for a black-and-orange or a black-red combination.

Tip: blot your marker on a tissue when making the eyes to prevent ink from bleeding.
