Halloween is just around the corner, and it's the perfect time to plan a memorable party for your kids! At Little Dudes, we've selected five original and creative ideas to celebrate this season full of thrills and fun.
1. Decorated autumn leaves
Materials : Dead leaves, markers or black paint.
Instructions : Choose leaves in different fall colors. Then, draw pumpkin faces, spooky smiles, or dots on the leaves with black markers. You can let your imagination run wild to create different expressions. 
2. Pumpkin plate with ears
Materials: Paper plate, orange paint, black paper, scissors, glue.
Instructions: Paint the paper plate orange to resemble a pumpkin. Once dry, cut out shapes for eyes, a nose, and a mouth from black paper and glue them to the plate. To add "ears," cut two circles from the black paper and glue them to the top of the plate. 
3. Cotton swab skeleton
Materials: Orange paper, cotton swabs, glue, felt-tip pens.
Instructions: Draw a skeleton head on the paper with a marker. Then, cut the cotton swabs into different pieces to create the body bones (arms, legs, spine). Glue them onto the paper to form a skeleton. Add decorations around it with stickers or additional drawings (stars, bats, etc.). 
4. Ghosts with lollipops
Materials: Lollipops, tissues or paper napkins, small sticky eyes or black marker, string or ribbon.
Instructions: Cover a lollipop with a tissue to create the ghost's head. Tie it with string or ribbon just below the head. Add sticky eyes or draw them on with a marker to bring your ghost to life. 
5. Creating Halloween Cardboard Characters
Materials: Pre-cut cardboard or wooden shapes (depending on the theme chosen, such as animals, people, etc.). Markers, colored pencils, felt-tip pens. Self-adhesive googly eyes, glitter, stickers, and other decorations. Glue, scissors, and additional accessories (small objects to glue, ribbons, etc.).
Instructions: Decorate your cardboard or wooden figures with markers, colored pencils, googly eyes and glitter.
