Diy Crafts Easy Crafts to Make for the Whole Family by Amy Boyce
The most wonderful time of the year is almost here: Halloween!
Soon, it will be time for witches, ghouls, vampires and other monsters to shine. And while your kids (im)patiently wait to hit the streets and go trick-or-treating, keep them entertained — and busy — with these incredibly easy Halloween crafts for kids.
Browse through this list of spooktastic craft ideas for all ages, ranging from paper plate monsters to no-carve pumpkins. All of these DIYs are made with little hands in mind, whether they fully embrace the thrills that the holiday brings or they're really just in it for the Halloween candy (relatable).
Parents will reap the benefits, too. Kids can complete most of these crafts entirely on their own with the exception of a few that require adult supervision while cutting or gluing. Plus, most of these DIYs double as Halloween decor, so you can deck out your house with personalized creations rather than the store-bought stuff.
Have your kids pick an idea or two, then raid your pantry for household items or make a quick trip to your local craft store to get the necessary supplies. Once you have everything you need, let the fun — and frights — begin!
Frankenstein paper plate
Frankenstein is terrifying to most, but this paper plate version is absolutely adorable.

Spider pumpkins

Popsicle stick witch magnet
