Pumpkin weaving

| She'z Crafty

This was a last minute idea. My son thought for sure we were weaving when we cut out the one inch strips for the last pumpkin craft. So, why not?

image

We used:
4 colors of paper
Glue

We weaved togethers a square gluing where needed. Then we cut it into a circle together.

Pumpkin Halloween Craft

These pumpkins don’t take long. To keep the kids busy I roughly draw lines one inch apart and let them cut. Busy kids =happy kids

Here are step by step instructions:

Take a green strip and make a figure 8, then staple

Next take 5 orange strips and staple together as shown.

Then hold the middle strip and take the next two inner strips pull down and staple.

Take the next two and do the same try to get spacing right and staple.

Cut off the top to make even.

Take the green figure 8 fold in half and staple over top.

Mouth Full of Bugs

| She'z Crafty

We are really getting into the spirit celebrating Halloween. This completely freaks me out thinking about having a bug crawl in my mouth. I had a bag of bugs we bought at the dollar store.

Apple, marshmallows, peanut butter

Here is what you need:

Apples
Mini marshmallows
Peanut butter (optional)
Plastic bugs

I sliced the apple and used peanut butter to make the marshmallows stick. Then we placed the bug on top to make it creepy 😉

Here is what you need:

Noodles
Food coloring
Rubbing alcohol
Ziplock baggies

Put noodles in a bag and add a few drops of food coloring to the bag. Then add about a tablespoon of the rubbing alcohol and the pasta.

Seal the bag and mix up tell all noodles are covered and you have the color you want. Let set a few hours.

I used cookie sheets with wax paper. Then put the noodles on top to dry. We let the pasta dry outside for a few hours.

This is a perfect craft because you can make a million more crafts with it 🙂

Trick Or Treat, Paint My Feet!

| She'z Crafty

Here is another on of those crafts that make me laugh out loud. I saw this and a daycare craft share page and I couldn’t wait to paint feet.

image

Grab some:
Paper
Paint
Paint Brushes
Markers
Googly eyes

We took the paint brush and painted everyone’s feet green as the giggled with excitement.  Then let them stamp their foot on the paper. We keep a wet paper towel ready to wipe clean to save on a mess later. Then used a marker to add details once dried.

Coffee Filter Spider Webs

| She'z Crafty

These webs are again simple, cute, and you must likely have a coffee filter around the house. I have some and I don’t even drink coffee. 

image

Here is what you need:
Coffee filter
White crayon
Water colors

I just drew the lines with the crayon. It is hard to see so I went about every third wrinkle on the filter. Then we use water colors and painted making sure everything got covered.
