October is here that means Halloween is approaching! Time to get out your spooky decor and get your sweet tooth ready! Today my older son and I got crafty and made some cute Halloween decorations. My older son Dylan is four and loves crafting with me! It is so much fun to see how excited he gets when he sees his creations come together not to mention it's a great bonding opportunity. Here are a few easy but fun Halloween projects to get you in your family in the spirit! Happy crafting everyone!

Here are some of the supplies you will need in order to create these spooky decorations. Crayons, construction paper, pipe cleaners, googly eyes, small paper plates, tape, scissors, glue, and tissue paper. | |

For the first project I drew ghosts, bats and pumpkins on construction paper (clearly my art skills are lacking but thank goodness my son doesn't judge me...yet) |
|
Then cut the shapes out. |
|
Dylan and I drew faces on the pictures then hung them on our glass doors. |
|
For the next project we used the small paper plates and Dylan glued the googly eyes onto them. |
|
Then on the other side of the plate I lined up the pipe cleaners. |
|
Taped them on and bent the "legs" |
|
and as easy as that we have cute little spiders! |
|
They made a cute addition to our door! |
|
For this project we did the same thing as with the spiders, simply glued on some eyes and Dylan added a cute smile. Then I taped some tissue paper onto the back creating a cute little ghost! |
|
This ghost was made by simply scrunching up some tissue paper for the head and tying some fishing line around it leaving enough extra to hang it up. |
These projects were very fun and easy to create and added a lot of Halloween spirit to our home! I would love to know some of your favorite Halloween crafts or traditions! Happy crafting everyone!
Great ideas! Looks like fun!
