Halloween Crafts for Kids

I'm not a huge fan of Halloween... at least not the spooky aspect of it, but I do love the warm autumn colors and it's great fun to decorate the house with pumpkins, gourds, and fall leaves. My kids are all about dressing up as their favorite Star Wars hero or Disney princess and although we don't do the door-to-door thing, we usually do find a party somewhere to attend. This year, there has been some talk of making a scarecrow... which I suppose is innocent enough!

If you're looking for a little Halloween fun to share with your kids this year, I've done a little digging for you. These are all sites that come up fairly high on a Google search... I've included my favs here. Great ideas for elementary aged children and most are low budget types of crafts that don't require mom or dad to have a lot of skill! lol

Have fun!
