I feel like Halloween is one of those holidays that you get to experience all over again once you have kids. Once I was too old for trick-or-treating I kind of forgot about Halloween. Then my son was born and it’s like it became my favorite holiday all over again.
This will be my sons third Halloween and I am so excited. He’s old enough to know all about candy and I can’t wait to dress him up and take him all over town. In the meantime, I’m dreaming of Halloween crafts and candy and checking Pinterest daily like a crazy person to find new ideas of spreading the festivities all over my house.
With all that being said, today I am sharing 15 Halloween crafts for kids. I am so excited to try some of these with my son and I hope you will try some with your kids too!
Healthy Halloween Snack. I am in love with his crafty food idea from Pinterest. It’s one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen.
