Pumpkin painting is a safe early years alternative to pumpkin carving 11. The children simply paint the fruit however they want to, and when they have finished you can group them together to make an eye-catching Halloween display. Put out a variety of small pumpkins/squashes, along with paint in different colours. This activity is a nice, safe preschool alternative to pumpkin carving. Make Halloween decorations to stick on the end of the springs – maybe bats or spiders – using card, pompoms, pipe cleaners, googly eyes etc. Use plain headbands for the base of your boppers, and attach two springs these could be made from pipe cleaners, straws or binding combs (the kind used for binding documents). Head boppers are great for children who don’t like wearing masks. For witch masks, it’s a good idea to have some pre-cut hat shapes ready for the children to stick on (tip – do the hair first!). Help the children cut out the eye holes first. Witch/monster masksįor this project you’ll need some colourful paper plates and a variety of materials to decorate them with – paint, pens, stickers, pipe cleaners, pompoms, tissue paper etc. These are very effective with a tea light inside. They can then stick on eyes, noses and mouths to make a pumpkin face. Get the children to glue the tissue paper onto the jars, building up layers so that each jar has a good covering of orange. Tear the tissue paper into small pieces, and cut shapes out of the black card to make eyes, noses and mouths. To make these lanterns you’ll need some glass jars, orange tissue paper, glue, black paper and LED tea lights. Add googly eyes once the paint has dried. Blend different colours and blow in different directions to create interesting effects and shapes – multi-coloured monsters with various legs, arms and tentacles. Get the children to drip pools of paint onto their card and then use the straws to blow the paint outwards.

Get the children to make their own creepy-crawlies using the dough, and adding googly eyes, pipe cleaners etc. The second idea involves making playdough, again in different colours if possible. Add some plastic creepy-crawlies and let the children enjoy some sensory play, finding and burying the toys. The first is to make a few large bowls of slime, in different Halloween colours (eg green, orange, purple). Creepy coloured slime lets children enjoy sensory play 5. Thread them onto string, or staple them onto tape, and hang them up around the room. Cut out lots of pumpkin shapes from orange card, and get the children to make all kinds of different faces on them, using paint, pens, stickers, and any other decorations they like. Pumpkin buntingĭecorate the nursery for Halloween with strips of pumpkin bunting. Finish off by putting a spider in the middle of the web, made from pipe cleaners. The second is a weaving project, using wool again but wrapped over and under an asterisk-shaped frame of lolly sticks glued together. The first involves creating a web by threading wool through holes made in a paper plate.
There are lots of different spider web craft projects, but here are two ideas. You could make it easier by helping them draw an outline to follow. This is quite a tricky project, so best done with older pre-schoolers. Get the children to make skeleton pictures by painting a white skull and sticking cotton bud bones below. Lay out some sheets of A3 black paper or card, along with some glue, some white paint and plenty of cotton buds (some cut in half). Paper plates are an easy way to create spooky Halloween ghosts 2. These paper plate ghosts look particularly effectively hung in trees, where they can waft in the breeze. Make the rest of the ghost using a few strips of loo paper of varying lengths, torn into a ragged edge at one end, and stapled to the plate at the other. First get the children to draw or paint two spooky eyes on a plate. Paper plate ghostsįor this project you’ll need some white paper plates, some rolls of white loo paper, black paint or pens, a stapler and some thread for hanging. They come in so many shapes and sizes ( regular, jumbo, colored, and even notched) – inspiring all kinds of creative ideas!
