One of the finest parts of Halloween, or any holiday for that matter, is making crafts for decorations, and when it comes to finding free Halloween crafts for kids, you have lots of places that you can go to for ideas. The web has so many places you can for free Halloween crafts for kids. Once you have the ideas in your head, you can then use your creativity and imagination to make them even better. Here are a couple to get you going :

One of the simplest of the free Halloween crafts for kids that I am found involves a straightforward egg carton, two scissors, and some black paint. Take and cut out 3 egg cups from a clean egg carton keep them attached too! The 2 outside cups need to have the front and back cut out of them these are your bat wings. Paint all the cups black and then either add googly eyes or paint on eyes with white paint to the middle cup. Punch a hole in the pinnacle of the middle cup. Take a piece of string and make a strong knot that won’t slip thru the hole. Put the string in the hole and hang your bats from wherever you can think of. If you use water resistant paint and a styrofoam egg carton, you can also decorate your trees outside.

Another idea for free Halloween crafts for children is to make frightening balloon ghosts that you can hang either within or outside too. Start with 2 white plastic bags you can get from the grocery store or Wal-Mart. Cut off the handles as well as any writing on the outside of the bag. Beginning from the bottom ( away from the seam ), use scissors to cut the bottom into 1 in. shreds stopping about one inch from the seam. Blow up the balloon and make a knot in it to keep it inflated. With the knot at the top, tape one bag to the back side of the balloon and one bag to the front. I like to use black duct tape as it holds better. Draw a scary face on your ghost and tie a string around the knot and hang from wherever you need. You can make it even more fun to hang a few bells from the base of your spook to hear it haunt in the breeze!
