Lorelai got to craft this cute little Halloween ghost tonight with tissue paper. I’d had this planned for a while but just go around to it. After she did this one, she went on to do a ghost family on pink paper, but I didn’t get a shot of it. Cute! Materials We Used: 2 […]
Paper Roll Bat Craft
How cute is this craft?! I saw it on a friend’s facebook and had to steal the idea (thanks, Amanda!). Lorelai was sitting next to me when I was scrolling through pictures and she immediately decided that she had to do this one. She loves our craft time. =) Materials We Used: Toilet Paper Roll […]
Spider Web & Spider Craft
This is a fun and cute Halloween craft for kids that will definitely be refrigerator-worthy. Lorelai had so much fun doing this one, no doubt because of all of the sticky and gooey glue that she got to play with! Materials We Used: Scrapbook or cardstock paper (white) for the background. Black construction paper will […]
Paper Plate Jack-o-Lanterns
We flew back to Houston early yesterday morning, and Lorelai has been missing all of the non-stop attention she got from my family up there. She was crawling up the walls this afternoon, so I decided to do a craft with her. We’ve missed it, and are way behind on Halloween crafts… Here’s one, Paper […]
Footprint Ghosts
What a way to start out our Thursday! Footprint ghosts – and the craft went really smoothly. Like the last one I posted (hand print spiders), this one is also super easy and quick. Just dip the foot into paint and plop-plop-plop, it’s done. I had her glue on some eyeballs and we set it […]
Quick Handprint Spider Craft
I wanted to do a quick and easy craft today to make up for yesterday’s failed attempts. When doing this other hand print spider, I wondered if we could do it with paint. Same basic thing, right? Except it takes a fraction of the time – great for when you don’t have all of the […]
Dried Beans Witch Craft
Remember this Candy Corn Pumpkin we did last week? Well, I had a ton of leftover beans and split peas, and since we don’t really eat either (I’m not crazy about black beans and I have no clue how to prepare split peas). I came up with this witch craft to use some of them. […]
Ghost Craft with Beads
I’ve been slacking on the crafts for Lore this week, but have been in full-swing cleaning and organizing mode. After organizing the craft boxes, I decided to do a ghost craft with beads. I seriously need to get rid of these things – they’re never ending and get everywhere. So I just slapped some glue […]
Candy Corn Jack-o-Lantern Craft
My friend Katie over at Texas Tigers wrote a blog post about her kids crafting a candy corn pumpkin. I thought it was so cute and inventive that I had to let Lorelai do it, too. We did ours a bit differently since I ran out of orange construction paper. Lore was absolutely stoked about […]
Frankenstein Craft
Unfortunately, I couldn’t take walk-through pictures because I was just too busy helping Lore with this one. She had a lot of fun hearing the story of Frankenstein (scary!) and proceeded to make weird “Frankenstein monster” noises while completing this craft. The original recipe for this craft didn’t call for screws, but I thought it […]
Tissue Paper Pumpkin Craft
Pumpkin crafts are so fun, especially when the weather has cooled and fall is in full-swing. Today we did this adorable tissue paper pumpkin craft. We had a ton of tissue paper left over from our handprint fall tree craft, so I came up with this fun pumpkin for Lorelai. She absolutely loves tissue paper […]
Paper Towel Ghost Craft
This craft was inspired by my uncle and his family. A bunch of years ago, they cut up an old bedsheet to make ghosts to hang in the trees around their property. It looked so cool! So I decided to do a paper towel ghost craft with Lorelai this morning. It’s very easy! Paint a […]
Handprint Paper Roll Spider Craft
In the spirit of Halloween and all things spooky, we did this fun spider craft. I originally saw this on Paper Crafts and immediately put it on our to-do list.Here’s what you need: – Empty toilet paper roll – Glue & staples (optional) – Paint & Accessories – Wiggly Eyes (optional – you can paint […]
Ghost Decorations
I was putting away the paint from our earlier craft when I noticed a piece of white cardstock sitting on the counter. I took it out last night to cut out ghosts, but never got around to it. Since our earlier craft was insanely simple, I decided to do another today, and Lore was definitely […]
Halloween Jack-o-Lantern Craft
Sitting in the kitchen this morning, I decided to do this classic Halloween pumpkin craft with Lorelai. I’m sure everyone has done this craft, or a variation of it, at some point in their lives. I figured doing it would open up the discussion of Halloween and talking about the pumpkin patch, carving pumpkins, and […]
