A paper plate witch is an excellent craft for those young artists still exploring all there is when it comes to crafting.

The big three of witch essentials–her hat, a broom, and her trusty cat are possible with a few toilet paper rolls.
This craft is great for one kid or a handful (depending on how many rolls are available; we have a small stockpile for this purpose) because everyone can make their witch, cat, and broom.
Provide an array of construction paper like this so everyone can personalize easily.
33. Stacked Books Halloween Decor

Stick with classic ingredients like frog legs or go humourous with dog barks at inappropriate times. Grab this variety pack of labels if you are making your own.
37. DIY Earrings

Festive earrings are something I always enjoy, and I think a lot of others do, too! So grab some fun images from online and some of this clear shrink plastic and get to constructing.
A good tip is to stick with pretty simple images that are obvious still after being shrunken. Sometimes, the images can be affected by the process.
38. Witches Brew Slime

Of course, the kids that love Halloween-y and witch-like things will love this witch’s brew slime.
This slime can be any ghastly color you’d like–purple, green, blue, orange, hot pink–whatever seems spookiest for the young one.

If you’ve been here a while, you know my love and admiration of paper plates!
It is so entirely versatile and hardy, perfect for any kid, but especially for those ‘young young’ artists who may be a little too hands-on.

41. Paper Bag
Source: ourkidthings.com
My other favorite unsung hero of the young kid crafting world is a paper bag! Yes, a regular paper lunch bag, as you probably know, is endlessly versatile and easy for kids to handle.
There’s nothing cuter than a paper bag character, and I thought it’d be a nice way to wrap up the witch craft post.
Offer different colors for the witch construction, from clothing to skin color–let the kids take some liberties with the classic look of our spooky friend.
