Halloween easy craft ideas on a lazy half-term holiday day
Its been a busy week, we finally have a day off together. But feeling like flopping in a heap - you know how it is.
But Halloween is coming and the kids are eager for some spooky crafts...I was looking for some easy peasy crafts for us to do during the half term holiday.
What have we got in the house? not much! coloured paper, some thingies (treasury tags!), black pipe cleaners, wool...
Think quick!
On the trusty Pinterest I found the following great ideas:
Simple colouring sheets
We love a bit of colouring in - lots of great free print off sheets are available via Pinterest - simply search Halloween colouring sheets
Cutting practice pumpkins

Thanks to nurturestore.co.uk for their great Halloween idea - combining a bit of scissors mastery with a Halloween theme!
I took this one step further by creating a simple template in Word (2.5cm wide rows, with inside lines) and printed this onto orange paper.
I then found a simple leaf template and printed this onto green paper.
