For those sorry souls who think Halloween is just about costumes and candy, they are missing out on the exciting kids' Halloween crafts as another way to get the little ones into the Halloween spirit!
With the Halloween arts and crafts for kids that we have for you, the whole family can get creative and have a family bonding session making some of the many fun and festive DIY Halloween crafts for kids.
These Halloween kid craft ideas are so fun to work on together as a family, and even the adults will enjoy themselves!
Use your finished projects to decorate your home for a Halloween party (I LOVE Halloween parties, just sayin), style your front porch for Halloween night, or just have some fun with DIY Halloween crafting for kids!
We’ve skipped over the scary stuff and found the best fun Halloween kid craft ideas for your younger ones.
Something I like to do is send cards to grandparents and aunts and uncles for all of the holidays. Take a look at the fun project, Cards - Free Printable Halloween Cards that we found for you.
There are so many Halloween cards on this site for the kids to send to their friends and family. On this site, you can customize the cards with stickers and your own photos!
A fun kids’ Halloween craft from this site is their Color Your Own Halloween Cards section! Check it out!
If you’re looking for something else that is printable, you’ll love the Halloween Printable Coloring Pages. The younger set, (you know the precious little ones I’m talking about), will love coloring the pages as a simple and easy kids’ Halloween craft.
Want to get your hands a little messy? Make some Googly Eye Halloween Slime! Kids love to make and play with slime, and we have a great recipe for green glitter slime complete with googly eyes!
Tell me now, how great are googly eyes to make EVERYTHING more fun?!
If your family likes this slime recipe, they may want to step it up a notch with the Jack-O-Lantern Slime Pumpkin Jar! More slime here, but make this orange slimy stuff and pour it into a jar with a pumpkin face on it.
You have the cutest Halloween pumpkin party favors or gifts to pass out to friends!
You crafters who are stocking up on empty toilet paper rolls will want to create lots of the Bat Halloween kid craft idea!
The cute bats aren’t scary at all, dressed up with their bow ties, and they are perfect for hanging from the ceiling or even strung together to make a great garland!
Speaking of garlands, another Halloween craft for kids is the Halloween Fabric Garland! This garland is super-easy and looks great decorating the indoors for the big day. Don’t miss this fun, easy, and adorable DIY Halloween craft for kids!
Any duct tape fans in the house? Get ready to go crazy with duct tape while creating the DIY Trick or Treat Bag for Halloween.
This Halloween craft idea for kids is more than just a craft; the kiddos can use this homemade bag to collect their Halloween candy on October 31st!
There are two different versions to make with Duck brand tape, which take advantage of their glow in the dark tape. Use the printables on the site to make this craft even easier.
Be sure to check out the many other Halloween crafts for kids! We have creepy (but not too creepy) spiders to make using simple materials like bumpy pipe cleaners!
Maybe you would like the pom pom spiders instead. Be sure to take a look at them both before you decide!
Ghosts run amok in the DIY Halloween kid crafts below. We have various ghosts projects made of tissue paper, coffee filters, and plastic bags! You can have ghosts dancing everywhere!
Keep scrolling to find more Halloween crafts for kids. There are so many to choose from!
