Last Minute Halloween Craft: If you're like me and Totally Forgot about Halloween, here's the Craft for You!!

Oh shoot! Halloween is next week! We have the house decorated and all, but I haven't done much in the way of Halloween crafts this year. Fortunately, I was able to round up some supplies for a simple, last minute Halloween craft for the boys. 

 

Materials needed: 

Foam shapes for Halloween (or just use regular foam sheets and cut them into festive shapes)

Googly Eyes

Halloween colored Pom Poms (we like the glittery ones)

Foam stickers: it doesn't really even matter which ones. 

Glue

I set everything out on the table and sorted the supplies in paper plates. 

The boys each got to choose a ghost or a pumpkin. We put two dots of glue for the eyes. 

They then chose the eyes and put them on the glue dots. 

If they wanted to put the pom poms on there, we added more glue and then the pom poms. 

I let them go to town with putting the foam stickers on their creations. 

They had all sorts of stickers to chose from: stars, dinosaurs, etc.

Froot Loop loved putting crown stickers on his pumpkins. 

It's a great fine motor skill to work on getting the "sticky" off the back (the paper). 

It's also a good pre-writing skill. Put those finger muscles to good use! 

Clap clap clap! You're done! 

 

What are your Halloween traditions in your family?

Thanks. My boys love to do crafts with me. Sometimes I have a hard time keeping up with them and coming up with ideas.

They're finally at the age where they're fun to do crafts with.

They look like they we're having fun, that's what counts. I love that you shared so many photos. I wish I had saved more moments like that with my girls -- family time is precious.

We don't really have any Halloween traditions - we didn't even make it to the Pumpkin Patch this year! We did paint pumpkins though, and I feel like our kids don't care what we do, as long as we do it together (and getting messy is involved! ha!)

I got my pumpkins from the grocery store this year. We're going to paint them tomorrow I think.
