15 Halloween Crafts and Activities for Kids

Halloween-a-Glow-Go

Put those extra pasta sauce and baby food jars to good use to light up your Halloween with some spooky homemade votives, like these featured on Make and Takes.

A great way to reuse old jars that are taking up space in your pantry, this project is easy and perfect for small hands. To get started, you'll want to have jars handy (with mouths large enough to drop in tea lights), along with black construction paper, tissue paper, and some white glue mixed with a tad of water. Trace an outline for your silly, spooky face, coat your jar with glue, and begin layering your tissue paper on top. Your glowing Halloween characters will be lighting and frighting up the night in no time!
