How to Help Your Kids Create Their Own Halloween Decorations - De Kinsey

10/24/2014

1 Comment

 
Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year.  This year my kids are old enough to decorate so I decided to let them do the décor this year for Halloween.  Scary right?!?!?!  Well it is Halloween so no matter what the decorations turn out as we are good!    When all was said and done, some of the decorations did turned out a little gruesome but hey…  It’s Halloween and I love that they are being creative.

Steps:

1)      Sit down with your kids and help them navigate Pinterest for ideas.  We found a ton of cute ideas on Pinterest.  They also came up with a few good ideas on their own by looking at other pictures. 

2)      Decide what your budget is going to be and talk with your kids about the budget.  It is important to help kids understand money and this is a great opportunity to do just that.

3)      Take your kids to Deseret Industries, Good Will, or the Salvation Army store.

4)      Help them pick out the items they want to decorate with that are within the set budget.

5)      When at home plan out where the decorations are going to go and what the steps are to complete each decoration.

6)      Help your kids create their decorations.  Sometimes this is just sitting back and watching them create them other times they might need a little more hands on help.

I am pretty proud of what my kiddos came up with... so of course I am going to show off their pictures.  Hopefully your kids can have some unique ideas come from the ideas my kids came up with.  

Marry-Go-Round Ghosts

The Marry-Go-Round Ghosts are really popular this year.  I have seen a few people do this in their yards.  My kids wanted to add red spray paint to the ghosts to give them a more eerie feel.  

How we created them:

Picture
1)  We got 4 hot dog sticks and hammered them in the grass.  

2) Then we got 4 styrofoam balls and pushed them down on the handles of the hot dog sticks.  

3)  We them grabbed some white bed sheets we grabbed from Deseret Industries and stapled them to the styrofoam balls.

4)  We then grabbed the sides of the sheets and stapled them together so it looks like the ghosts are holding hands.

5)  We then spray painted the white sheets.

HeadLess Dead Body

How we Created it:

1)  We got an old ski jump suit.
2) We filled the suit with crumbled up newspaper and straw at the head and hands. (We tied the legs so the newspaper wouldn't fall out.)
3) Then we layed the body down and spraypainted it red for blood.
4)  When the paint was dry we placed it where the kids wanted it to go.

Hanging Tree Ghost

Picture

How we created it:

1) We grabbed a white bed sheet, a stapler and an old bird house.
2) We hung the bird house in a tree.
3)  Then we stapled the sheet around the top of the bird house.  (No blood was added this time)

cemetery

I was going to be creative on this one and create our own tombstones... but it honestly was cheaper just to buy the Walmart tombstones and use those.  

How We created this:

1) Buy tombstones at Walmart.
2) Figure out where you want to place them.  
3) Dig holes for the tombstones to fit in.
4) Place rocks around the tombstones so they don't fall down or blow away.

Creepy Keep Out Sign

Picture
I would have been just fine with just the sign but my kids insisted on the dead dolls on the sign. 

How we created this:

1) Grab a crate, black paint, red spray paint, white spray paint, and 3 dolls.
2) Paint the crate black
3) spray the dolls white
4) Spray the words "Keep Out" on the crate
5) Spray Red on the dolls for blood
6) when everything is dry place the crate where you want it and arrange the dolls where you want them.
