Fall is just around the corner, and with the cooler weather comes more inside time for the little ones. Naturally, they�re going to need something fun and creative to keep them busy. Help your kids prepare for Halloween by constructing these adorable craft projects. They�re easy and fun to make and the kiddos will love displaying them for the holiday.

Egg Carton Spiders

What you will need:

Cardboard egg carton
Pipe cleaners
Poster paint
Elastic thread
Something to poke small holes

Instructions:

Cut the egg cups out of a cardboard egg carton. Cut pipe cleaners into 3 inch sections. To make each spider, poke four pipe cleaners through each cup sideways. Bend the ends to look like eight spider legs. Paint the spiders black or in any wildly creative way you want! After the paint has dried, attach a length of elastic thread to the middle of each spider. Have fun holding your thread and bouncing your scary spider up and down as you take it for a walk!

Optional: Decorate your spider with googly eyes, stickers, glitter, or sequins.

Plastic Bag Ghost

What you�ll need:

White plastic trash bags
Black marker
Balloons
Some string
Scissors
Masking tape

Instructions:

Blow up/inflate the balloons and cover each one with a trash bag. With the string, gather and tie each bag under the balloon to make a head. Using your markers, draw a spooky face on the trash bag. Be as creative as you can-make a scary face or a funny face. Whatever you want! Attach a piece of string to the top of your ghosts and display them all around your house and yard, or fill the balloons with helium and have them float around your house. Spoooky fun!

There you have it. Two very simple art projects that you can do with your children with materials you have lying around. (If not, knock on that neighbor's door who always borrows an egg from you.)

Happy Halloween!
