It is finally October and I am really excited about making more Ghoulish crafts! Every year I try and do something new but there are certain items that I like to make again and again because they just look so good. Sometimes I have to make something new because I have some of the children two years running. They would be annoyed if I made the same thing with them two years in a row. Sure it would be boring for them as well!
Anyway, here are some more of my past attempts ;)
Origami bats are fun to make but aren't easy. The younger kids had some problems with this craft but I am sure there are easier and harder levels of folding to make a bat.
They make great decorations for the room and it is really fun to see what kinds of faces the kids draw on them.
Handprints and fingerprints can be transformed into the cutest animals as well as monsters and ghosts. An online search will help your creativity.
In the one picture you will see some creepy fingerprints. These figures were made to compliment the song lyrics we were singing. The handprint ghosts were certainly spooky. Good for your kids portfolio as well as hanging on the wall.
Spiders webs are difficult to make but they really look good. You need a hoop of some kind. Then you have to tighten at least 4 pieces of wool/string across the hoop (dividing it like a sliced pizza!). Then you weave a final, longer, piece of string around the previously added strings.
You can also make a spider out of coloured pipe cleaners to hang on your spiders web. Add some wiggly eyes to make them look a little less scary!
I have a couple of more ideas to share with you! They will be posted soon! If you have any input or questions then please feel free to post in the comments section!
