Halloween Season if officially here! We’ve picked our pumpkins, ordered Halloween costumes, and now we are ready for some fun crafts and activities to go along with this spooky season!

We’ve rounded up some of the cutest crafts and activities on the internet into this blog post. If you want any more information on any of these, just click the link above the image!

Enjoy!

Black Bean Sensory Bin

We created these sensory bins last year and could not wait to make them again in 2020! You can get all the details here.

Homemade Halloween Play Dough Kits

Notice that many of the little halloween knick knacks seen below are also in our black bean sensory kit? We save EVERYTHING purchased to make these crafts and re-use them dozens of ways each season then we store them away for the next year! You can get more details on how we make our play dough here.

Pumpkin Painting

Such a simple activity that can be done and done again. Our favorite pumpkin painting hack is to use washable paint… that way a few days after your kiddos paint, you can simply wash the pumpkin and paint again!

Pumpkin Ring Toss

A great activity that doubles as a craft activity too. We started by having our girls color and decorate the “rings” made out of paper plates.

Pumpkin Bowling

A simple to set up activity that provides hours of fun! You can get a behind the scenes look at this activity in action over on our Instagram page!

Sticker Name

This activity can be completed with just about every holiday and it is always a hit! It’s a great fine motor activity and keeps kiddos entertained for a long time. If you don’t have any longer paper on hand, you can grab a 2 pack here for super cheap.

Pumpkin Boats

A great way to incorporate water activities into the cooler months! We ended up having to move this activity from a sensory bin to the bath tub because it was getting a little messy but it was totally worth it! The girls really enjoyed this one!

Fizzy Pumpkins

This is a great science experiment for Halloween! I added one scoop of baking soda to the pumpkins (those are the same pumpkins from our boats shows above!) then I mixed a drop of orange food coloring with vinegar to make the “magic potion”. You can see a live video of this activity in action on our instagram page here.

Growing a Jeweled Rose did a similar science experiment, just with FULL SIZE pumpkins. How cool it that?! She also has a great activity involving art made out of colored pumpkin seeds- check it out here!

Marshmallow Stamp Ghost Art

Any craft that gives us an excuse to snack on marshmellows is going to be a winner! This adorable craft brought to you by Coffee Cups and Crayons

Spider Web Fine Motor Activity

How creative is this?! I pretty sure we already have all of the supplies needed for this activity in our home. Idea from Fun Learning For Kids

Sponge Painted Candy Corn

My husband and I have this debate every year… I think candy corn is the BEST Halloween candy and he thinks it taste just aweful! Either way, there’s no denying this is one GREAT craft! More details at I Heart Arts and Crafts

Toilet Paper Roll Spider Painting

I’m suce a sucker for crafts that use recycled materials. Craft from Crafty Morning.

Toilet Paper Roll Mummies

Can you tell we are big fans of toilet paper roll crafts around here? These mummies made by Glue Sticks and Gumdrops.

Handprint Frankenstein Craft

Kiddos love any excuse to get their hands covered in paint! We can’t wait to do this craft from Mom Dot Com

Puffy Ghosts

So simply yet so cute. You just need construction paper, glue, and cotton balls to make this craft from Thriving Home happen!

Paper Bag Pumpkins

I remember making these as a kid. We would stuff them with leaves from the yard! Classic craft brought to you by Kid Friendly Things To Do.

Witches Brew Slime

You can never go wrong with a slime activity! Activity from I Heart Crafty Things

Popsicle Stick Spider Webs

This craft doubles as a great hand-eye coordination activity. Idea from Buggy and Buddy.

Egg Carton Monsters

I love the idea of handing these out with a piece of candy inside. So cute and creative! Idea from The Craft Train

Halloween Spaghetti Sensory Bin

We are always looking for an excuse to do spaghetti sensory bins. They are one of our girls all time favorites! More details on how we color the spaghetti here.

Halloween Sensory Bags

These sensory bags could easily be made by repurposing items from other Halloween sensory bins. Idea from Plain Vanilla Mama

Salt and Ice Halloween Hands

How cool is this spooky science experiment? Once again- items such as pom moms, google eyes, spiders and skeletons from other sensory bins can be reused here! Get the full details on how to make this awesome activity from the Happy Hooligans.

Such a cool Halloween science experiment

Spider Web Maze

An easy to set up activity that really challenges your Childs gross motor skills. Can they make it through the maze without touching the web?!
