With black cats, spiders, jack-o-lanterns, and ghosts there are plenty of inspiring things out there for Halloween craft projects. To help figure out what you would like to make try and figure out what you think of when you think of Halloween and have your child do the same. Maybe you think of witches on broom sticks or screeching black cats, maybe even ghosts peeking through walls whatever it is with a few supplies and a little bit of time you can make something great.

If you want to show off your and your child's talents with cardstock, a glue stick and scissors you can make some Halloween scrapbook cards to send off to people. You can make them as large as you want and as elaborate as you want. There are tons of Halloween stickers and stamps available as well if you would rather do that than drawing out pics on paper and cutting and pasting.

For a decorative table maybe you could take some pipe cleaners, poof balls, and wiggly eyes and bend and glue them together. You could make anything from a spider place card holder if you're having a Halloween party or you could make a screeching black cat to sit ing the window sill. Whatever you choose and however large just make sure you have plenty of supplies for what you want to do.

If you want something to hang in your window, one of my favorites, you may like giant eyes so that when your lights are on at night, it looks like your house is staring at whoever is outside. if you want to take that a bit farther you can make a whole face like a jack-o-lantern or a cat face with whiskers.

Maybe you want to make a witch flying on a broom stick flying in your window. For this you may want to get some poster board or a large piece of card board so you can make it large enough to make it recognizable from the road. You can also use a roll of packing paper or news paper anything that is large enough to cover the space you want to use.

With a little imagination and a steady gluing hand you can make anything you can dream up and you can make things that you and your family will be able to enjoy for years to come. Just remember to have fun and take lots of pictures so you can show them what a mess they could make when they were little.
