It’s Fall y’all! This post is definitely overdue. The weather is FINALLY changing here in Alabama, so I’m officially in the Fall spirit. With Halloween right around the corner, the girls and I came up with a few quick and easy Halloween crafts for kids to try. No instructions or long paragraphs necessary.
As I stated before, these are going to be quick and easy crafts. So easy, my three-year old rocked them with little to no assistance.
Apple Pumpkin Stamping
Cut the apple, paint the apple, and stamp the apple. Seemed simple enough until we couldn’t get the whole apple to stamp. I had to channel my inner Andy Warhol to paint the rest of the apple pumpkins.
Halloween Plate Painting
I just want to point out that I am not the arts and crafts type, but having children will make you want to try anything at least once. All you need is paper plates, paint, glue, and construction paper. Oh, and a visual aid . . . gotta have the visual aid.

Scary Halloween Pumpkin
I couldn’t get the girls to take a picture with the Pumpkin King. Apparently, he wasn’t cute enough for them.
Cotton ball Ghost
Our cotton ball ghost looked a little funny. Good idea, poor execution.
We tried one without the cotton balls. If you’re a 90’s baby like myself, you remember playing Pac-man. I’m pretty sure our friend here is related to one of the ghosts in the game. At least he’s happy.
I honestly, don’t see how some moms get their kids to sit still long enough to do 20+ crafts. My two were pretty much done after the apple stamping. Until next time . . .
