My family loves Halloween! It's so much fun dressing up, decorating, and playing games together. It's even more fun when you can create something that doesn't break the bank!
Below are 6 crafts and activities that you can create together as a family, for just a few dollars a piece.
 | Creature Bowling Recycle old coffee cans, and paint them to look like creatures! Any round container or can would work. For younger children, it is easiest to give them a stencil to work with while painting. For the mummy, you can use an old terry cloth and wrap it around the can. Add a ball to bowl with, and you created a Halloween game! |
 | Bats on the Wall Bats are an easy decoration to create! Use the Printable to cut bats out of black cardstock paper. To give it a 3D look, fold the bat in the middle and the half of the wings in the opposite direction. |
 | Spooky Cauldron There is nothing more fun then sticking your hand into cooked noodles to get a "prize". Eye balls and spider rings are great toys to search for. |
 | Ghost Suckers I made these a lot as a child, and it's became a family favorite! Wrap a sucker with a tissue, tie it, and add eyes. I used thread to tie mine, so it's not noticeable. These are also really fun to pass out on Halloween! |
 | Monster Playdough My daughter loves to create creatures with playdough, so I gave her a few things to make it a monster. We used pipe cleaners for the arms, and pom pom balls for the feet and ears. Put all of the supplies in a zip lock bag, and you have a candy free alternative to pass out for Halloween! The best part, is seeing the different monsters she will create with the same supplies. |
 | Ghost Balloons Create a 3D ghost with a balloon and streamers! Use a sharpie to draw the face on, stencils, or tape on pre-cut construction paper. The streamers are easily attached to the balloon with tape. |
