Boo-tee-ful Crafts
Not-so-scary Halloween Projects
By Donna Smith
Here's what you help your child do:
If using Halloween Woodsies, paint them and let dry. Glue on wiggle eyes. Run glow-in-the-dark tape all around the bucket at the top and the bottom. Glue Woodsies or craft foam shapes to bucket. Cut two 12-inch lengths of black satin cord. Tie one on each side of the handle. String alphabet beads on one cord, spelling out the trick-or-treater's name. Tie end. String pony beads on the other three cords. Tie off.
Not-so-spooky PlacematsYou'll need:
A large sheet of black craft foam
Several smaller sheets of craft foam
Craft knife or scissors
Sharpie or other fine tip black marker
Glue
Here's what you help your child do:
Cut pumpkins, cats, trees or whatever your child would like out of the smaller sheets of craft foam. Use the Sharpie to draw in eyes on the cats and decorate the pumpkins. Put a few dots of glue on the back of each cut out.
What your child can do on his own:
Let your child stick the shapes all over the larger piece of black craft foam. When he's done, let it dry at least an hour before using.
