Here are a few of our favorite craft ideas that are both easy and fun . . .

Ghostly Lollipops

Fill your family candy dish with yummy ghost pops. Simply take a Tootsie Pop or other large round lollipop and cover the top with a tissue. Tie off with a Halloween ribbon decorated with pumpkins or monsters and then draw on a happy or spooky face.

Monster Houses

Taking simple wooden birdhouse found at your local craft store, paint on a spooky scene. Create a monster head to fill your house by taking a small bouncy ball, painting it green and gluing on google eyes. Create a spooky smile using pieces of white modeling clay. Hot glue the monster into the birdhouse hole and hang on the porch for a fun, unexpected touch.

Don’t stop at crafts and recipes. Create last minute adult costumes from simple objects found around the home. Choose a Halloween fun night for each week in October and let the entire family come dressed in their homemade creations.
