Arts and Crafts for Halloween
If you are like me and my chums, we love celebrating and decorating for Halloween which is why Halloween humanities and crafts projects are particularly close to our hearts. We like to come up with new and scary concepts to transform our homes into frightening haunted homes with bats, ghosts, cobwebs, and witches embellishing both the interior and the exterior of the house. Halloween arts and crafts projects provide excellent opportunities for you to interact with your children and teach them how to make something out of practically nothing. Here are two our fave projects :
If you have bushes in front of your house, you just might become the talk of the area with this Halloween arts and crafts project we found. Take a standard white bed sheet ( the size will rely on the size of your bushes ). Fold the sheet in half and place paper between the fold. You may either use an enduring black magic marker or black fabric paint to draw a spook face on the sheet. Your spook can be scary or funny or you may have a couple of each depending on how many bushes you have! Then drape the sheet over the bush and secure it in the back with clothespins so that it is tight around the bush.
I really love this next Halloween arts and crafts project because you may use these to decorate outside. You will need a plain white lid ( such as from a marg container, three black construction paper circles for eyes and a mouth, two white plastic grocery sacks or trash bags, 2 white pipe cleaners, glue, scissors, tape, black yarn, and a hole punch.
Start by gluing eyes and mouth on the front of the lid. If the lid isn’t completely white, you can paint it so that it is. If you are using grocery sacks, cut off the handles and any writing. Lay them on a smooth surface and use scissors to shred two in. strips up from the bottom leaving at least an one inch area intact next to the seam. Attach a pip cleaner stem into the seam. Turn the lid over. Bend and insert the pipe cleaner/seam into the ridge around the bottom 1/2 the lid and tape to secure into place. Repeat this with a second sack and pipe cleaner inserting the ridge round the higher half of the lid. Punch a hold through the apex of the lid and thread a length of yarn through the hole to hang. You might prefer to have a loop at the end of a foot and a half so your children can hold onto them and run making it look like they are being chased by a ghost! You may also hang from trees so they blow in the breeze!
These are just a few of the Halloween humanities and crafts projects my friends and I like to make. You can find many more fun Halloween arts and crafts on the web. Above all, when you are making Halloween arts and crafts, just be creative, inventive, and have fun!

Lennon Legend: The Very Best Of John Lennon $7.46 John Lennon’s solo work has been anthologized so many times that it’s hard to believe there wasn’t a definitive compilation before this one. And, depending on your particular take, you might not find Lennon Legend quite hitting the mark. However, since it does contain the brilliantly scathing “Working Class Hero,” doesn’t ignore the woefully underrated Rock ‘n’ Roll album, and catches the hopeful … |

The Bends $5.35 While Radiohead saw its stock rising in 1994, it wasn’t until 1995′s The Bends that it really became a blue chip band. And for good reason. The quintet honed its talent for bombastic Brit Rock, yet still preserved an edge of unpredictability. Even singles like the title track didn’t give in to the kind of swooning guitar clichés usually embraced by commercial radio. If the CD proved anything, it … |
