24 Halloween Crafts for Kids Ideas

Looking for Halloween crafts for kids Ideas? Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love everything about it.

The decorations, the candy, and the costumes. I love dressing up for Halloween.

I am not a fan of scary costumes or scary things, so you can bet I don’t like a scary house. I like a fun and festive house for Halloween.

I like to DIY my decorations and I like to get my kids involved in the process.

I have found 25 Halloween crafts for kids that are fun for the whole family.

1. Halloween painted rocks

If you haven’t jumped on the painted rocks trend, Halloween is the perfect time to try it! Painted rocks are so versatile and can be used for so many things.

You can hide them around your town, use them as decorations, or give them to friends and family.

We painted our rocks to look like our favorite Halloween characters, but you could also paint your rocks with Halloween patterns or designs.

2. Halloween bottle cap magnets

Use bottle caps to make these fun Halloween magnets. All you need is a little paint and some magnets to create these fun decorations.

You can use them on your fridge or even on a magnet board to display your Halloween art.

3. Mummy candles

Add some spooky lighting to your Halloween decorations with these mummy candles.

Start by wrapping battery-powered candles with gauze and then add googly eyes. Secure the gauze and eyes with a little hot glue.

These mummy candles are so easy and fun to make, you’ll want to add a whole collection of them to your Halloween decorations.

4. Halloween painted clay pots

Get creative with your Halloween crafts by making this adorable painted clay pot.

This is a great project to do with kids, as they can get as creative as they want with the design.

You can use your finished pot as a candy dish, a place to put your keys, or even as a planter. There are so many possibilities!

5. Halloween glow stick jars

These Halloween glow stick jars are a fun and easy way to decorate your house for Halloween.

You can add some battery-operated lights or a candle to make them glow.

My kids love making these! They can personalize them with their own spooky designs.

These are best for older kids, as you will need to use a hot glue gun to make the faces. But younger kids can help paint the jars and add the faces with glue.

6. Halloween painted jar luminaries

These Halloween painted jar luminaries are so much fun to make and are a great way to recycle any empty jars you have lying around.

Fill them with battery-operated tea lights or string lights and use them to decorate a Halloween party or as a centerpiece for your dining table.

7. Halloween handprint crafts

If you want to do a Halloween craft with your kids but don’t want to deal with the mess of carving a pumpkin, this is a great alternative.

Cover your child’s hand in paint and then press it onto a piece of paper to create the pumpkin shape.

Then paint the stem and add some Halloween-themed stickers or drawings around the pumpkin.

8. Halloween button crafts

Whether you have a big button collection or you just pick up a bag of mixed buttons at the craft store,

you can create so many fun Halloween crafts with them.

We made a Halloween button wreath with a foam wreath form, but you could also use a paper plate to make a smaller version.

You can also use buttons to add a little extra detail to a Halloween banner or to make a button pumpkin craft.

Buttons are also a great way to add texture to a piece of art.

9. Halloween pencil toppers

These Halloween pencil toppers are a great way to dress up your kids’ pencils for school or to hand out as a non-candy Halloween treat.

All you need is a bag of pom-poms, some googly eyes, and a little bit of glue to make these. Then, just slide them onto the top of a pencil and you’re good to go.

10. Halloween paper plate crafts

Paper plates are a great base for Halloween crafts. You can turn them into wreaths, masks, jack-o’-lanterns, or even a bat.

This simple craft is perfect for young kids and can be used as a festive decoration for a Halloween party.
