According to my 7 year old nephew, this will be the first Halloween that he’s actually going to be celebrating. He’s dead excited.
You see, here in the UK, we don’t do the Halloween thing the way our US buddies do. We’re still playing catch up around these parts.
So to mark the up coming seasonal holiday, I’ve gathered some of the cutest Halloween craft ideas for kids (includes a few creepy spider crafts).
Not really a crafty person? Don’t worry, I’ve gone for simplicity.
Ready to take a gander at my cool finds? Of course you are.
10 Totally Cute Halloween Craft Ideas for Kids
These little cardboard critters are cuuute, that’s for sure. They’re also an insanely easy Halloween craft for kids to make.

Aren’t these just the most adorable DIY Halloween masks? The best bit – they’re printables! As a nice little touch Mr Printables offers you a couple of options. You can either download the masks as is, or download plain versions of the masks and have the kids color them in.
These googly-eyed monster pencil toppers are so sweet and so easy to make. Catch the tutorial over at The 36th Avenue.
