Easy Halloween Crafts for Kids: Simple Costumes and Accessories
Halloween is a fun time for everyone to play dress-up. Some costume projects may be difficult, but a lot are actually easy Halloween crafts for kids. Kids can make their own no-sew, homemade costumes and accessories. This article will show you a few ideas on making simple Halloween costumes and accessories.
A Milk Carton Cow Costume
A milk carton that resembles a cow at the same time would be a really cute no-sew costume to make! Young kids will especially love making this costume themselves. Simply cut out the flaps and a hole on two sides of a carton box for the arms to go through. Have your kid paint the box with a white base and black spots using non-toxic poster paint.
Accessories for this Halloween crafts for kids costume is a tail made of paper and yarn which you can attach to the lower part of the box. Simply cut out paper ears and horns and glue to a headband, which your kid can wear to complete the whole look.
Closet Costume
Costumes as Halloween crafts for kids does not always involve creating your own costumes. If kids will rummage through their old clothes, they will find items which they can assemble together creatively for their Halloween costumes. For example, they can use a red hooded sweatshirt for a Little Red Riding Hood costume; their PJ's for a Sleepwalker costume, and a black sweatshirt and pants for a Ninja Costume. Just add accessories like a basket, a teddy bear, or a mask made out of a plain T-shirt.
The Halloween Hats
There are easy Halloween crafts for kids that can show you how to make Halloween hats. For a witch's hat, draw out a semi-circle at the edge of a piece of black paper using a circular template. Cut out the drawing, fold the piece into a cone, and fasten with staples/glue. Cut out a circle (larger in diameter than the cone's bottom) from the same black paper and then glue or tape the cone on its center. This is your witch's hat. To make a sorcerer's hat, simply use the cone and paste cutout paper stars on it. You can also use glue and glitter to create the stars.
Making Halloween Wands
A witch is not a witch, nor a fairy a fairy, and sorcerer a sorcerer if they are without a wand. For this easy Halloween crafts for kids project, use a paintbrush instead of a pencil or straight tube for the wand stick. A paintbrush usually has a more elegant shape.
To make a Halloween crafts for kids' wand, spray-paint the whole paintbrush and let it sit to dry. Next, draw and cut out two identical paper starts. At the brush-end of the paintbrush, stick the two stars back-to-back, with the brush in between. Use other shapes for a witch's wand such as a half-moon. For a sorcerer's wand, place glue on the brush to harden it. Wind yarn or twine around the paintbrush for a Harry Potter-like wand. Spray-paint the whole paintbrush with gold or brown for that realistic effect.
To make any costume realistic and interesting-looking, always remember to add its matching accessories. Both are simple to make with easy Halloween crafts for kids.

holiday package for homeless kids?
me and 3 friends want to make some packages for homeless kids we would take them to a shelter before christmas, we have a budget of about $45 we wanted to make at least for packages. we were thinking about making some blankets and buy fabric from the craft store, giving them some old clothes and toys of ours, getting some of those cheap tooth brushes like the ones from the dentist (maybe a dentist will donate some), and i am going to make some pepper mint bark.
do you have anymore ideas.
please note that the packages are mainly for kids. (its not the kid's fault they are homeless)
when i say old clothes i mean clothes that i got for my birthday or christmas from my family that was too small so i couldn't wear them, and they are nice clothes like abercrombie and hollister (some still have the tags on them)
Hello,
So you mean kids with there parents who are homeless,not street kids.
Do you feel that old cloths, and used toys are something you would like to get. These people might be homeless. They might be flat broke, but they still have there dignity and self respect.
How would you feel if you got used clothing and used toys from a stranger at Christmas. Not saying you are not meaning well, but this might not go over to well. They get plenty of used clothing and used toys. It is Christmas. Buy just one new toy and forget the used stuff. Can be done with $45 bucks, just don't buy expensive stuff.
A homeless kid is just as important as a non homeless kid. Please do not look down on them because they are homeless. Like you said it is not there fault.
