Can you believe it’s almost fall already? Do you know what that means? It’s almost time for Halloween and Halloween crafts! So I thought it would be fun to start making a few in preparation and whats better then some ghost crafts? This Ghost craft can actually be a fun treat to give away on Halloween or at a Halloween party.
Supplies:
Lollipop- round, like a dum dum or tootsie pop
Tissue (toilet paper will work too- but you’ll need a few pieces)
Rubber band
Marker
Steps:
Find center of Tissue and wrap it over the lollipop
Cinch below the lollipop and wrap the rubber band around it.
My daughter loves to play dress up and whats better then to make your own dress up clothes!! This is a great video on how to make you very own princess Tiara! It’s a great Kindergarten Craft!
This is a super easy craft to make that with a little imagination can be lots of fun! Once you make this fun telescope, use it to play a game of clue and search for things in the house by looking through it. Another fun idea is to play spy with it. If it’s a nice starry night take it outside and see what you can find in the night sky!
Supplies:
Construction Paper
Tape
Crayons
Steps:
Have your child roll the paper so that they can see through it.
Tape it together.
If they want they can decorate it with some crayons.
We have so many arts and crafts supplies at our house that I am always on a quest for how to keep them organized. I have found a great way to keep all of my painting supplies organized and make it easy to take them out and put them away. I thought I would share it here so that it might help you organized your supplies. My goal is always to make it easy to get out and put away the supplies, and I want them to be easy to get to. I also need to sometimes put them in the closet so it needs to be easy to move. I found these great big tupperware boxes that have snap on lids. I bought 3 of them and put all the paint in one box, and the plastic tablecloth we use as our drop cloth in another along with painting supplies. The third box, gets all the extra supplies. This makes it really easy to take in and out and I don’t get everything dirty in the process.
This is the coolest craft that is perfect for a child in Kindergarten or first grade. You can adjust it to be for younger children, but you will have to assist them with the toothpicks.
Supplies:
Paper towel roll
Paint
Toothpicks
Glue
Scissors
Dixie cups
Beans
Steps:
Paint the paper towel roll, allow to dry
Carefully poke toothpicks along the seam of the paper roll about every inch apart, do this through out the paper roll
Cut 2 dixie cups so only about half an inch of the side of the cups is left and the bottom.
Glue into one side of the paper towel roll.
Place about 1/2 a cup of dried beans in the paper towel roll, and glue the other dixie cup on the open side.
