Growing Gobblers

Every morning begins with one quick trip to the window. "Did the feathers grow?" Yesterday the little turkey had only a tiny tuft of green. Today there are enough feathers to make everyone smile. By next week, they may be ready for their very first haircut. This adorable turkey planter turns a simple craft into a week-long adventure that children can't wait to check on each day. As the grass grows taller, little hands eagerly water their turkey, watch for new feathers, and eventually become the turkey's very first hairstylist.

Ghost Lollipops

  Some Halloween crafts stay at home.  These little ghosts get to travel. Children carefully wrap each lollipop, tie tiny bows, and draw funny little ghost faces before proudly lining them up on the table. Soon they're deciding which ghost should go to Grandma, which one belongs to a favorite teacher, and which silly ghost might make a best friend smile. That's what makes these Ghost Lollipops so memorable. Children aren't simply making a Halloween treat. They're creating something they're excited to share with the people they care about. Whether you're looking for an easy Halloween craft, a classroom party favor, or a thoughtful homemade treat for trick-or-treaters, these adorable Ghost Lollipops are quick to make and just as fun to give away. If you're planning a season full of festive family fun, explore our Halloween Activities for Kids collection filled with creative crafts, science experiments, sensory play, and memorable Halloween traditions.

Ghost Slime

Children pull the cold slime apart as slowly as they can.  It stretches.  It glows.  It feels eerily cold in their hands.  Then, someone pinches the top into a little point, presses in two googly eyes, and proclaims, "It's a ghost!". It isn't long before the table is filled with wonderfully wobbly characters that slowly stretch, droop, and melt before children excitedly shape them all over again. That's what makes Ghost Slime so unforgettable. Children don't just stretch and squish the slime. They bring friendly little ghosts to life, watch them slowly disappear, and then create another Casper all over again. Whether you're looking for a Halloween slime recipe, a ghost-themed sensory activity, or a playful way to combine creativity with hands-on fun, this chilly Ghost Slime invites children to build, stretch, and imagine one ghost at a time.

Halloween Cardboard Tube Crafts

One cardboard tube becomes a ghost.  The next becomes a monster.  Then, someone decides it should have vampire teeth instead. Soon the table fills with witches, pumpkins, bats, goblins, silly monsters, and spooky little creatures that no one planned to make when the afternoon began. That is what makes these Halloween Cardboard Tube Crafts so unforgettable. Children rarely stop after creating one character. Every finished craft sparks another idea until ordinary cardboard tubes become an entire Halloween world of their own. Whether you are looking for an easy Halloween craft, a creative way to reuse cardboard tubes, or an afternoon project that keeps children happily creating, these Halloween Cardboard Tube Crafts offer one simple invitation: Set out the supplies and see who appears.
