It’s just about time to start planning the Halloween crafts we will be doing for this year’s Halloween party!

Obviously, the kids will be eager to eat piles of candy, but I’ve also found some great activities just perfect for a Halloween party or even a monster theme boy’s birthday party.

Plenty of these activities could also be made beforehand and hung up as party decorations. The Cupcake Liner Bats and Pumpkin Rocks would be perfect over the fireplace, while the Yogurt Monster Cups fit in on the dessert table amongst the cake and other sweet treats.

There are plenty of party activities too, including the Candy Corn Monster Craft for Halloween, the Paper Plate Spiders, WitchCraft, and Spider Activities.

The Edible Pumpkin Play Dough, DIY Halloween Surprise Balls, or Franken-SLIME Halloween Favors are just what all the kids will be thrilled to take home after the party has ended.

1. Candy Corn Monster Craft for Halloween

From Crafty Morning

We don’t make many scary Halloween crafts so I thought it was necessary to feature this awesome candy corn monster. Even though kids may think they are scary, we all know that they are secretly super cute.

The candy corn is meant to be the monster’s teeth for the craft, paired with a funny monster body and giant monster eye balls.

2. Paper Plate Spiders

From I Heart Crafty Things

Be prepared for a whole swarm of these paper plate spiders to take over your house in the next couple of days. Luckily they are so cute that you won’t even mind having them around.

These paper plate spiders are so simple to make, your kids will love them and they make spooktacular Halloween decorations for around your house.

These little Franken-Slime Halloween Favors are perfect for any of our sugar-free friends out there, or a great school treat for classrooms that don’t allow food.

Making the slime is a super fun activity for kids of all ages, plus what kid doesn’t love getting a little messy?

Put the green slime into small mason jars and add a Frankenstein inspired face for the perfect Halloween goody.

4. Yogurt Monster Cups

From Frogs, Snails and Puppy Dog Tails

Creative snacks are some of my favorite crafts out there, so I couldn’t resist adding these totally cool monster pudding cups to our list of Halloween crafts.

They make the perfect treat to enjoy at home around Halloween time or to bring to school for your child’s Halloween party.

Simply add a Halloween cupcake wrapper hat, a googly eye or two, and a little paper mouth.

Go for an autumn nature walk to collect some rocks in all shapes and sizes to make these simply adorable pumpkin rocks.

A simple yet festive family craft, these pumpkin rocks are the perfect rainy day activity in the fall time. Add some spooky jack-o-lantern faces to put into the garden for Halloween decorations.
