Pumpkin Emotions Halloween Craft for Kids

Nothing is more synonymous with Halloween than the super expressive pumpkins. With their cut-out eyes, nose and mouth, they convey the fun yet scary emotions understandable by even the youngest children.

We thought it would be educational to focus on how small shape variations in eyes and mouth can convey emotions as wide as smiling and scary. So, we made this Pumpkin Emotions Craft for Halloween with a twisted personality!

Be careful folks - one second it’s smiling & cute and in the other menacing & scary!

Diwali is one of the biggest festivals in India and people celebrate on this day by lighting lamps and candles in their homes. For this year’s Diwali, we decided to make a handmade Diwali greeting card, which reflects the color and exuberance of Diwali.

Pigeon Pumpkin Decoration

For a great pumpkin challenge at our daughter's school, we converted the pumpkin to our daugter's favorite book character - Pigeon from Mo. Willems book. She absolutely loved making her favorite pigeon.

Halloween Spider Craft

"Itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the waterspout...", is one of the first poems that a baby hears and learns. Little do they know that the spiders they so love are such great spooky icons for Halloween!

Did you know that Spiders are not insects? They are their own category called arachnids. And, while they have obtained a scary reputation, they are actually really fascinating little creatures. Their magical powers include weaving spider silk, which is considered to be stronger than steel with the same dimensions.

Cardboard Tube Monsters Halloween Craft

Warming up for Halloween with these cute little monsters :)

This Halloween is special. Why? Because my daughter is now two years old and this is the first Halloween where she can actually understand and participate in all the Halloween hoopla!

Now, she is too young for the seriously spooky things so I decided to introduce Halloween to her with these cute little cardboard tube craft monsters!

She knows that humans have two eyes, no horns, and regular teeth. So, seeing these outliers (one or three eyes, horns, saw-shaped teeth), she immediately gathered she was looking at some weird creatures that we happen to call monsters.

But, since they look funny and harmless she had a great time making this craft and then playing with these little new friends of her.

Magnetic Squirrel and Acorn Fall Craft

Our house has a few large trees close to the balcony deck. The trees are home to a few squirrels and our toddler has come to adore their cute antics. Her favourite is when the squirrel grabs an acorn and nibbles away at it with her teeth and hands. So cute!

In fall, Acorns fall to the ground and squirrels pick them up burying them for use in the winter hibernation season. Often, not all the acorns get consumed leading to the birth of new oak trees in a few months. And, these natural cycles continue.

Paper Plate Wheel Calendar

I have been thinking of introducing calendar to my toddler for some time. Then I thought, why not do it as a craft activity?

Spent some time thinking about how one could represent the functionality of a calendar via craft and something interesting came from it. Making this craft turned out to be a real fun activity. In the process of crafting this, my toddler got to sort numbers and recognize words.

Most importantly I can now teach her about the relationship between date, day and month in a simple, playful manner.

Here is the Paper Plate Wheel Calendar craft.

Interactive paper plate crafts are my favorite. The Solar Eclipse Craft we made after the total solar eclipse last year is such a great idea for preschooler and kindergarten kids.

I also love the interactive Paper Plate Bunny Craft we made around Easter to encourage the importance of chewing food well and eating healthy foods like carrots.

Theseinteractive crafts are fun for storytelling and introducing any concepts to little kids. Also, it makes great DIY toys for free play.

Magnetic Fall Leaf Craft

Fall brings some of the most contrasting and beautiful images in nature. The different colors that leaves take, the eventual falling and the beautiful mosaics on the ground make fall an artist’s playground.

Equally importantly, fall plays such a huge role in keeping nature healthy by completing the circle of life for plants where the fallen leaves become nurturing food for the tree’s future growth.
