Haunted Paper Plate Pumpkin Patch At Night - Kid Craft

Get your kids into the spooky spirit this Fall with this easy and fun-to-make Halloween craft!

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Paper Plate
  • Black Craft Paint
  • Foam Paint Brush
  • Small Loose Star Glitter
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Yellow Cardstock Paper
  • Brown Cardstock Paper
  • Black Sharpie Marker
  • Scissors
  • School Glue
  • Stapler
  • Stickers

Directions:

  • First have children paint their paper plate completely black with the craft paint & a foam brush. Just squirt a little in the center and hand it over!
  • When they are done and while the black paint is still wet, go ahead and sprinkle some star glitter on top for added sparkle in the night.
  • Set it aside to allow it to dry a bit.
  • Next up – the ghost handprint made from paper. Grab your white cardstock, a marker and paper craft scissors.
  • Pick one of your child’s hands and place in the center of the white cardstock.
  • Use the marker to trace around it, on the paper.
  • Lift up their hand and trim out the handprint design you just made, with the scissors.
  • Discard excess paper.
  • Now take the Sharpie marker again and draw on “ghost faces” on each finger of the cutout.
  • Set aside the ghost handprint till later.
  • Next up – grab the yellow and brown colored cardstock.
  • Out of the yellow paper, cut out a large, circular moon shape.
  • Out of the brown paper, cut out a small rectangle that will be the dirt that holds the pumpkins.
  • Go ahead and add line of pumpkin stickers on the brown paper piece, you just made.
  • Now we are ready to assemble our craft! Grab your painted paper plate, all the paper pieces, school glue and stapler.
  • Start off my gluing down the moon, towards the top, of the black painted paper plate.
  • Follow that up with the handprint ghost cutout in the center.
  • Finally – to finish off the Pumpkin Patch At Night – Halloween Kid Craft, staple the “line of dirt and pumpkins” on the bottom of the decorated paper plate. This will tie everything together.
  • Add any other embellishments you see fit {like more Halloween stickers and paper cutouts} before you display it proudly for ALL to see!
  • Don’t forget to share some pictures with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
