Pumpkin Slime: Ever wondered what to do with the leftover pumpkin guts after you’ve carved up that jack-o-lantern? Try making this pumpkin gut slime. Not only is it a fun activity for the kids, but it’ll give you something to do with those unused parts of the pumpkin.

Halloween Handprints: You only get so many Halloweens with your little ones, so if you want a fun way to immortalize the memory of them on this special holiday, try these clay handprint crafts. You’ll have a great keepsake for the end of the night once the kiddos are finished trick-or-treating.

Soda Bottle Ghosts: Why throw out those old soda bottles when you can reuse them for a fun craft with the kiddos? Decorate the bottles to look like little ghosts and they’ll make the perfect decoration for your house to get in the spirit of the season. 

Ghost Lollipops: If you have older children who may not want to trick-or-treat this year, get them involved in the fun by making ghost lollipops with them, and then they can help pass them out to the kids who come by for treats.

Need more than just ghosts or pumpkins? Don’t worry—we have all kinds of crafts for your little monsters to make. 

Cardboard Tube Mummies: Another fun way to reuse some otherwise discarded home items, these cardboard tube mummies will give your kids a perfect way to make themselves a little monster of their own.
