Halloween Crafts And Games For Kids

By Russ D. Edwards

One of the most fun things about the Halloween holiday is making things and having parties which is why Halloween crafts and games for children abound everywhere you look. There are all sorts of inventive craft ideas you may use to make decorating for Halloween a blast for youngsters and games you can play actually have their roots in old folklore. Need some ideas for Halloween crafts and games for kids? We see if we are able to give you an early lead.

One of the most played Halloween games is bobbing for apples. This convention goes back for years and years and is still played at many Halloween parties today. When we played bobbing for apples, you needed an old silver washtub filled about halfway to the crown with water. Then the apples were placed in the water and you were to get an apple only using your mouth and no hands. Let me tell you the secret to it trap the apple on the bottom of the tub and bite! It only takes 1 or 2 seconds and there's small possibility of drowning!

Halloween crafts and games for children are easy to come up with if you know where to look. If you are having a Halloween party for a lot of kids, you may need to consider letting them make their own treats! Edible dirt and worms is always a giant hit! Take a clear plastic cup and place a scoop of chocolate ice cream in the bottom. Give each child a Zip-Loc baggie that has some Oreo cookies in it and instruct them to smash the cookies into bits. Pour the cookies on top of the ice cream and add some gummy worms. Give them a spoon and tell them to dig in!

Another great Halloween craft for youngsters to do is to make frightening pumpkin window decorations. Take a piece of orange construction paper and have the children draw a scary pumpkin face on it. Then have them cut out the face. Leave the paper in a square as you can make many of these to tape to the windows in your house. Then illuminate them from behind with a lamp, and you have scary windows!

Use your creativity when looking around for Halloween crafts and games for youngsters. Concepts can be found in numerous places with the Net being the most abundant place to look. See what is out there and then have a blast seeing what you can create!
