Halloween Cats

By

I love Halloween crafts and despite our busy October, I hope we get a chance to do several this year.

For this craft, we decided to dig into our endless supply of empty cardboard tubes and made Halloween black cats.

Disclosure: There are Amazon Affiliate and other affiliate links in this article which means, at no additional cost to you, we could receive compensation for our recommendations. You can read our full disclosure policy on our Disclosure Page for more details.

Supplies Needed:

Empty cardboard tubes
Black paint
Glue
Googly eyes
Tri-beads (or something for the nose)
Pipe cleaners cut into small pieces

Before painting, I folded in the tops of the tubes to make ears. You can use the above picture for a guide. There is no need to glue, tape, or secure in any way. Once folded, it will stay this way.

Now it’s time to paint! Cover that tube in black paint. If you stick your fingers in the bottom of the tube and hold it that way, you can paint all sides easily.

After painting, it would probably be best to let the black paint dry completely. We didn’t because we were a bit too anxious.

We made the faces using googly eyes, tri-beads, and pipe cleaners. If you don’t have these items, look around in your stash for something fun for the faces. Get creative; the possibilities are endless!

We did have a problem with the pipe cleaners slipping off before they dried. So, you may need to hold them on there for awhile. But, once dry, they stick well.

I had plans of using these as a Halloween decoration this year, but the girls thought they were better used as puppets. Their idea was fabulous! It’s fun to make our own toys.

Have you started Halloween crafting yet?

Happy Halloween!

The porch light is off.The candy bowl is empty.

The kids are in bed.

Halloween is over.

My little bear and my little witch had a great time wandering the neighborhood with Daddy while I stayed behind to hand out candy.

By the time they got home, their excitement had gave way to exhaustion.

Tomorrow is November and all the Halloween fun gets put away until next year.It was a blast and we made many good memories. Hope your Halloween was fun!

Card Making Basket

By

I recently set out a little basket of card-making supplies for the girls to make Halloween cards.I kept it simple with pre-folded card stock and a variety of stickers.

Sticking stickers is always a popular activity with my girls, so I knew they would be excited to see the basket.

The girls had a great time and made quite a few adorable cards, which will soon be in the mail to surprise a few folks.They enjoyed this activity quite a bit and I plan on doing this for many more holidays in the future.

The card-making basket could be quite adaptable for any age of child or any occasion. Here are some other ideas for items that could be included.

Card Basket Supplies:
markers
crayons
scissors
glue
glitter glue
paper punches
construction paper, scrapbooking paper, etc.
ribbon
buttons

Have fun with the supplies and let your kids be creative. You never know what wonderful ideas they may come up with. Plus, think of all the people that would be thrilled to open up their mailbox and find a homemade card. I know I would be!
