1. Googly Eyes Pumpkin from She Wears Many Hats
Creating Halloween decorations couldn’t get much easier than this. Kids can make this silly googly eyes pumpkin in minutes. Just stick on the googly eyes, and it’s finished. Please be careful with the googly eyes around younger children as they can be a choking hazard.
2. Decorate Pumpkins with Markers inspired by Kitchen Counter Chronicle.
Decorating pumpkins with markers is a convenient option for kids of all ages. Younger kids can doodle on their pumpkin, while older kids can spend a bit longer on their designs.
Try decorating the pumpkins with a classic scary face design, or go for a more contemporary look with sugar skulls and repetitive patterns like polka dots and stripes.
Halloween Bunting
Bunting is an essential decoration for any home on Halloween. It’s easy for kids to make at home. You can download and print your own from Views From A Step Stool. Color in your bunting with Halloween colors - Orange, Black and Purple.
Or, go for a natural style bunting with this tutorial from Activity Village. Kids will enjoy collecting leaves and punching the holes in the leaves to create their bunting from scratch.
Tissue Paper Ghost, from Rhythms of Play
A Tissue Paper Ghost is another super easy Halloween decoration activity. All you need is some tissue paper, a cotton ball (or piece of crumpled-up paper), some string and a marker. Make a batch of them and hang them from the ceiling at different heights to create a spooky haunted house.
Are you feeling adventurous? Make an extra-large one with an old sheet or white garbage bag. The extra-large ghost is ideal for hanging in your hallway to scare your guests.
Spooky Spider Jar from Natural Beach Living
Here is another easy Halloween decoration idea for kids. This time, using a mason jar. Bend a glowstick (to make it glow), insert it in the jar and fill the rest of the jar with cotton balls, webbing and plastic spiders. It is the perfect decoration for a dark corner.
You can also make a few and use them to light up a pathway. The glow sticks will need replacing when they start to fade. So, keep some extra glow sticks ready.
