Calling all Creepy Crafters!
We have scoured the internet and put together a great selection of Halloween-inspired crafts that are easy to do with children. More fun than frightening and certainly more cute than creepy, these crafts are ideal for any school-aged children.
Decorate your pumpkins a little differently this year!
How adorable are these decorated baby pumpkins? All you need is plastic pumpkins, Halloween paper and Mod Podge (or PVA glue would work just as well). Follow the link below to see a step-by-step guide to making these cuties:

Light the way with these friendly ghosts
So easy to do plus if you get through as much milk as we do, you will have no problem collecting the containers to make these friendly ghost lanterns. Get a set of Christmas lights down from the loft and you can quickly create a ghostly trail to light the way for trick-or-treaters!

Colour and cut creepy critters
Perfect for a rainy day in, get the templates for these spiders here and have fun colouring or painting the shapes then cutting and sticking to make some great hanging decorations.
Halloween Luminaries
Jam jars, paint, glue and silhouette shapes are all that is needed for these amazing Halloween luminaries. They look great with the lights on or off!

Seasonal Spooks
Absolutely adorable! Simply collect some autumn leaves, round off the top, paint white and add some ghostly faces.
Still got time to kill?
