October is such a fun month for kids and a great time to look at doing crafts that will get their little imagination going. My girls love Halloween- the candy, the dress up, decorating… I have little ones so we don’t typically go for really scary stuff but they do like the occasional spider and pumpkins and black cats.
I thought it would be a great time to put together a list of crafts that are easy to do, preferably without a lot of special materials and stuff that you might want to do to spend quality time with your kiddos this month.

I love those craft ideas, thank you!
Ami says
THANK-YOU for having pictures of every single craft idea – I hate getting to a web site that just lists them with links, when I am in a hurry and need to visualize something I can use! This is a huge help!
Charlene says
I totally feel the same Ami. I don’t like seeing 25 links. I want to see the full project and then decide 😉
