With costumes to plan and parties to decorate for, Halloween is a great time for kids to let their imaginations run wild! A few simple materials are all it takes to create fun and festive crafts for this hair-raising holiday, and most of them are things you probably have on hand already. Grab a handful of paper plates and some washable paints and your kids can create a flock of bats, a bony skeleton, or a line of grinning jack-o-lanterns. Plastic spoons can become toothy vampires, and cotton balls make for the perfect fluffy ghosts.
