IT´S TIME FOR HALLOWEEN!

NOW IT'S TIME FOR HALLOWEEN....THIS YEAR WE HAVE MADE SOME CRAFTS! Do you want to see them??

Pumpkin

MATERIALS:
• 1-2 pieces of orange construction paper
• 1 piece of green construction paper
• 1 piece of black construction paper
• scissors
• paper cutter (optional)
• paper clips and/or stapler
• string

DIRECTIONS:
Cut the orange pieces of construction paper into 1″ wide strips (each strip will be 1″ x 11″). Then, shorten some of the strips so that you have (1) 6″, (2) 7″, (2) 9″, and (2) 11″ long pieces.

Gather the strips of paper together (with the ends flush) and place the smallest one in the middle. Order them by size so that the largest strip is on the outside. Secure with a paper clip or staple. Line up the opposite ends so that they are together like the top.

Cut a black strip of paper 1/4″ by 3″ long for the stem and cut out two leaf shapes from the green paper (ours were sort of like pairs of bunny ears).

Add the stem, leaves, and a piece of string to the paper clip at the top.

WITCH HAT

MATERIALS:
• piece of construction paper.
• tape
• paint (black).
• scissors
• string (elastic)
• sequins, stickers, ribbons, googly eyes etc. (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Paint the hats black and decorate as much as your child desires. For example, you can use stickers as stars or googly eyes.

Cut the string so that it's long enough to fit your child’s face from ear to ear, under the chin. Tape the ends of the string to the opposite sides of the hat (the outer rim of the paper plate) to make the hats wearable.

SPIDER

MATERIALS:
• Foam ball.
• two 12 inch black pipe cleaners.
• black paint and paintbrush.
• scissors
• glue
• googly eyes

DIRECTIONS:

Begin the spider craft by painting the foam ball black. You will need to do this in two steps. Let one side dry and then flip it over to paint the other side.

Cut the two 12 inch black pipe cleaners into 4 sections each, each section will be roughly 3 inches long. Push the 3 inch pipe cleaners into the side of the black ball, three per side.

Bend each pipe cleaner leg in the middle, downwards at a 90 degree angle. Now the spider can stand!

Add a face to your spider craft. I chose to glue on googly eyes, and I gave him two eyes.
