Carving pumpkins is a classic Halloween craft that requires sharp tools. If you’re unsure of your skills in this area, it’s best to leave it to the experts. Young children, especially, can’t handle sharp instruments. No-carve pumpkin crafts can be easy to do without carving, as you can simply use black paint and colorful chalk markers to create a fun project. And if you’d rather avoid the mess, consider painting the pumpkins black first and then attach the faces with tape.

Another great craft to do with kids is salt painting. This craft is easy to make and provides a lot of sensory enjoyment. Table salt combined with food coloring or Elmer’s glue makes a unique Halloween gem. For older children, you can combine the salt with other supplies to make a Halloween spider web. Add some glitter to the spider web for an extra sparkle. Alternatively, a spider web with spiders will add to the fun!
