One of the fun kids Halloween crafts we can suggest are sparkling spiders. These simple to make spider can decorate your Halloween table, be hung from the ceiling, or simply scatter about the house. First, you need a round four foam ball. Paint the ball a dark purple with a craft sponge. Sprinkle on white glitter parsimoniously while the paint is still barely wet. Glue on some googly eyes and stick black pipe cleaners in the sides for legs. Bend the pipe cleaners so the spider can stand on its own and you've got a fun, shiny spider!

Another glorious kids Halloween crafts uses just a simple egg carton preferably a cardboard one. Take and cut out three of the cups leaving them attached together. With the 2 outside cups, cut out the fronts to simulate wings. If you need, you can paint all of it black and then draw on a scary bat face or attach googly eyes with white glue. Punch a hole in the head of the middle egg cup and fasten a string that's knotted on one end. Then hang from wherever you want!

Children Halloween crafts do not have to be tough, but some will require adult supervision. This next craft could actually make you the talk of the neighborhood if you have bushes growing around your home. First, take a plain white sheet and fold it in half. Place some newspaper between the folds. Using either a black permanent marker or black craft paint, draw a frightening or funny ghost face on the front of the sheet.
