My kids are still both under 3- so crafts for us means something that we can assemble and clean up very easily- they don't have much attention span and weren't not good with small pieces or multiple steps.
Here are two crafts we did this year that were right up our alley- easy and not expensive!
Sucker Ghosts! We took Tootsie Pops, wrapped a kleenex around them, tied with a little piece of ribbon and added the eyes/mouth with a black marker. Super easy and cute! I'd recommend using a quality kleenex or doubling it up so it's thick enough to not tear easily. We handed these out at my son's preschool's Trunk or Treat!
Spider Web: They had this at our local state park Halloween party- I thought it was super cute! Just take a paper plate and cut slits in it all across. Take a long piece of yarn and tape one end to the back of the plate and then weave it in throughout all the other holes. Tape the last piece on the back. To assemble your spider- we used the 'gumballs' that fall off sweet gum trees- but you could use a pinecone or piece of a stick, etc. that you find outside- and hot glued pipe cleaners to it for the legs. Then we glued the spider to the plate.
Another version with other colors!
This is such a cute idea! Great for little hands. I am a new follower from Pity Party. Vicky from www.messforless.net
