20+ Easy-Peasy Halloween Kids Crafts: Make One This Weekend!

Happy Clippings

Egg Carton Bats and Leaf Ghosts

Non-crafty moms rejoice! These fun projects don't require any scary instructions, and you'll get a super-cute set of Halloween decorations to use next year, too.
From: Happy Clippings
What You'll Need: Egg cartons, scissors, black paint, paintbrush, googly eyes, glue, ribbon, artificial leaves, white paint and a black ribbon.
Directions: For the bats: Cut three cups from the egg carton and cut the two cups on the outside to look like bat wings. Paint the "bats" black, and glue eyes on after the paint dries. Glue a ribbon to the top of each bat so you can hang them. For the ghosts: Paint the leaves white on both sides (you may need two coats). Let them dry and use the marker to draw spooky ghost faces. Glue ribbon to the backs for hanging.
