If you have a child under the age of 5, don’t worry because even they can make preschool Halloween crafts with you or in the classroom with adult supervision. Just because your child is a preschooler does not mean they have to miss out on the fun of crafting. You may be surprised at what they can do when you introduce them to preschool Halloween crafts – and crafts in general. You are teaching them valuable lessons at an early age that will stay with them for a very long time. If you want a few ideas, you can find them on the Internet, but we’re happy to offer up a couple preschool Halloween crafts for you to try.

Before we tell you about some great preschool Halloween crafts, we should remind you that these little guys (and gals) are still learning all sorts of things about what they can do with their two little hands. Be patient with them and let their own creativity shine. Their crafts won’t be perfect, and they shouldn’t be. They should be their own creation that they can be proud of. You may also want to make the craft you want them to make before hand or along with them so they have something they can mimic or follow along with. So here’s the first of the preschool Halloween crafts we think is fun for your little one.

When you have carved out your pumpkin, you are left with the seeds. If you’re like me, I like to roast the pumpkin seeds in the oven sprinkled with sea salt. But save some of those seeds and clean them off and let them dry. Then take a piece of construction paper or cardboard cut into a circle and glue the pumpkin seeds around the outside with the points facing out. Glue a second row inside the first row and sprinkle glitter in the center. You can paint the seeds if you want and attach a stem, but we recommend punching a hole in the top and hang around the room or on the wall.

Great preschool Halloween crafts are ones that are edible because the child can eat their craft after they make it! This one is really fun – Dirt and Worms! First, get a clear, plastic cup. Place a small amount of chocolate ice cream in the bottom of the cup. Then give your child a few chocolate cookies – we recommend Oreos – in a plastic Zip-Loc bag and tell them to smash the cookies into little bits. Once they are all smushed up, pour them over the ice cream and add some gummie worms. Give them a spoon and let them enjoy their creation!

Preschool Halloween crafts are fun for adult and child alike. Look around the Internet, find several different craft ideas, and then let your imaginations go wild, but most of all, have fun!
