I seem to specialize in cute Halloween crafts.

Any attempt to make anything spooky, scary, or creepy ends up cute. I just can’t pull off scary.

I don’t even try any more.

These craft stick Halloween puppets were destined to be cute. Plus, they’re quite easy to make. All you need are a few craft sticks and paint… and don’t forget the googly eyes!

Keep reading and I’ll break each of the puppets down into step-by-step instructions.

These Halloween puppets are super-cute and so much fun to make. You just need a few jumbo craft sticks to make this simple Halloween craft for kids.

Supplies Needed (for all three Halloween Puppets):

Jumbo craft sticks

White, black, and orange craft paint

Small googly eyes

These Halloween puppets are super-cute and so much fun to make. You just need a few jumbo craft sticks to make this simple Halloween craft for kids.

Craft Stick Ghost:

1. Paint your craft stick white.

2. Add two small black circles for your eyes.

3. Add a larger black circle for your mouth.

Yes, it is that easy.

To help with the details, use the smallest paint brush you have for your black paint. Using a large paintbrush will make it hard. So, the smaller the paint brush, the easier to paint the details.

Craft Stick Mummy:

1. Paint the craft stick black.

2. Use your white paint to paint zig-zags along the length of the entire craft stick. Make sure to let a bit of black peek out between your stripes.

3. Add a couple of small googly eyes to finish your mummy. If you don’t have googly eyes, use your white and black paint to make your eyeballs.

Craft Stick Pumpkin:

1. Paint your craft stick orange.

2. Paint 3 small black triangles for your nose and mouth.

3. Paint a black zig-zag line for your mouth.

Once your paint dries, your Halloween puppets are ready to play with.

We’ve got several of these floating around the house and a few are currently haunting Cinderella’s castle. She’s not scared.

Good thing they’re cute.
