Halloween is much more than just costumes and Trick or Treating. This is a festival of joy and entertainment especially if you have younger children at home.
From making masks out of paper to preparing scary decorations, there is multitude of fun Halloween crafts that you can do with your tiny tots.
The most popular crafts include goodie boxes, ice cream stick pumpkins, paper bag pumpkins, pumpkin carvings, face masks, witch’s hat, haunted house, ghosts, spiders, flapping bats, cat patrol and milk jar.
The most popular craft is the Jack-o-Lantern, a craft that originated from the ancient ceremony of feasting and welcoming the dead by the living. Most of the people during those days made face masks that resembled their deities and spirits. This blend of festival and art of making faces paved way for traditional pumpkins carved as Jack-o-Lanterns.
People in the earlier times also used skulls and bones to store relics of their ancestors. They used celebrate a festival of reincarnation and invited their dead relatives and ancestors to the festival celebration by placing their skull. There was a time when people used to keep relics of their ancestors in the form of heirlooms and their bones, such as skulls, and used to honor them on celebrations and festivities and invite them to join their parties and festivities. This made the craft of pumpkin and Jack-o-lantern more popular in later years. Times may have changed now but the spirit of Jack-o-lantern remains. Children still enjoy them at parties.
