We used our x-Tool laser to cut our Halloween shapes out of wood. It would be just as easy to cut them out of felt or paper on a Cricut or other similar machine. If you're really dextrous, you can print the file up and use scissors!

For our first project, we painted the ghost, boo, pumpkin, witch hat, cat, and bat, and turned them into a garland for a mantle. We used used craft paint, and the pieces are just taped to the string with small strips of duct tape.

We added some extra bats between each shape.

Our second simple craft was a bat mobile! Not the drivable kind.

We used the Happy Halloween sign and the same string from the first project (which came from the dollar store) to hang bats from the spiderweb.

We kind of cheated for the third craft, because we already had a frame, but if you have an extra frame lying around, you can do this too. Put a photo of your child in a frame and have them decorate it with paper, wood, or felt Halloween shapes. If you print the shapes out, the kids can do all the coloring themselves.
