Halloween Cut-Outs: Easy Kids Crafts Idea For Halloween Preparation

As Halloween approaches I'm sure that many thoughts come to mind,  tricker treaters, costumes, parties, candy, and of course decorations. However one thing that is always enjoyed is spending time with your child, how do you do this with all these things you have to get done with the upcoming holiday? The answer is simple include your child in the activities. Here's a way that you can spend time with your child with a Halloween kids crafts idea.

Making Halloween Walk Hanging Cut Outs

The first thing your going to want to do is to gather your supplies, here's what you will need:

• Paper
• Crayons/Markers
• Scissors
• Tape

1. Use the paper to draw out some Halloween shapes with the marker, Pumpkins, bats, cats, broom sticks, etc.
2. Have your child color and design the shapes! Encourage them to use the colors they want but you can remind them that good Halloween colors are orange, black, purple. If you have your child color the shapes while still on the page it makes it easier to keep the surface underneath clean and also you don't have to worry about coloring outside the lines.
3. Use the scissors to cut the shape out of the paper, be careful when doing this, this is a par you will want to do rather then your child!
4. Have your child help you decide where to put up the new Halloween decorations, hang with clear scotch tape. To hang without seeing the tape take a 3 inch piece of tape and curl it to barely meet so it becomes a stick loop that you can stick to the back of the cut out and the wall, or use double sided tape.
