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.
