When I was a ratty little kid, a favorite aspect of Halloween for me was trying my hand at spooky and scary Halloween crafts, either at a Halloween party at school or sometimes at home, all on my own, with a pile of faded orange construction paper and a dull pair of scissors nearby.

Sadly, my crafts did NOT turn out nearly as cute as the ten spooky and scary Halloween crafts featured here. Do your own kids a favor and get them crackin’ on these adorable art projects, helping them to create fond memories of awesome spooky and scary Halloween fun! They’ll thank you later for making the effort, believe you me!
