Easy Peasy and Fun Black Cat Craft

Hang up your festive porch decorations and grab your trick-or-treating sweets because Halloween will be here before you know it! Plus, your kids are probably getting more and more excited about it with every passing day. After all, as Ree Drummond would remind you, this holiday is a family affair: "We usually have a big festival in town, at The Merc," she explains. "And later that night at home, Ladd and I and the kids watch scary movies and eat candy."
We love Ree's Halloween traditions, but it's up to you to create ones that speak to your own family. If crafting fall wreaths, pouring your own Halloween candles, and making pumpkin crafts is more your thing, then you'll love the ideas compiled here. Scare up some fun for everyone with DIY group Halloween costumes, spooky desserts, and plenty of pumpkin carving ideas.
You'll also find sweet DIYs that make use of all that Halloween candy you've been collecting, including homemade treat bags. There are many candy-free tutorials too, for those of you who'd rather avoid the dreaded sugar rush (and the crash that typically follows!), such as a scary fun tic-tac-toe game. You'll even find art activities that can double as Halloween décor.
Each of these Halloween crafts for kids is sure to make your fall a little bit creepier and a whole lot more fun. Here's to afternoons of tracing, stenciling, and excitement all October long!
