Fun Trick-or-Treat Crafts

From picking the perfect costume to carving pumpkins to digging into a bucket full of candy, there’s a lot to enjoy about Halloween. Make even more family memories this year with these easy crafts from private schools in Osceola.Spooky Monster PencilsIf you’re looking for a fun trick-or-treat gift for your child to give her friends, look no further than DIY monster pencils! These are a great alternative to candy, and they let your child put her own personal spin on her gifts.Start with a multipack of Halloween pencils, pom-poms, hot glue, and googly eyes. Gently remove the eraser from the top of each pencil. Then, coat the edges with hot glue, and press the pom-pom into place. Hot glue one or two eyes on — your child can change it up for each monster!Creative Candy Corn WreathIf your child always seems to collect more candy corn than your family can ever eat, don’t throw it away — use it to make a cute fall wreath. Start with a 12-inch wreath form, and paint it bright orange with poster or acrylic paint. After it dries, help your child hot glue candy corn on the innermost layer of the wreath. He can point them all in one direction, switch directions for each line, or glue them randomly. Keep the candy as close together as possible to hide the wreath form! Add a spooky black ribbon to the top to hang the wreath and add some more holiday flair.

Halloween Candy WreathIf you’d rather eat your candy corn than craft with it, then this candy wreath is the way to go! Take a roll of solid black ribbon and a flat, wooden wreath form. Tie beautiful bows evenly around the wreath, leaving space in the middle of each bow for fun-size candy bars. Use a tiny bit of hot glue to attach the candy bar to the wreath, and add a tulle loop to hang it on your door. Turn this into a random act of kindness by giving a wreath to your neighbor!

Bat BrowniesIs your family batty for brownies? Then this project is perfect for you! All you need are prepackaged brownie squares, black construction paper, and googly eyes. Cut out a set of wings out for each brownie package, and glue them to the back. Add the large googly eyes to give each brownie a personality!Holidays are the perfect time to create new family traditions.
