Fun for the Whole Family with These Halloween DIY Projects
Oct 24th 2017
A wonderful way to get in some quality time with your kids is to work on festive Halloween DIY projects to decorate your home. Whether you like to celebrate Halloween all month long or wait until the last week of the month, these Halloween DIY projects are sure to scare up some compliments.
No-Carve Pumpkin Projects
Jack-o-lanterns are a beloved Halloween craft. They can be tricky for younger kids to make, since they aren’t old enough to handle cutting through those thick pieces of pumpkin. With children who are too young to wield the tools necessary to make traditional Jack-o-lanterns, try some no-carve pumpkin projects instead. The bonus is that they won’t rot away as quickly as carved pumpkins.
