Boost Your Halloween Fun with Cute Crafts
Getting ready for Halloween with your kids? These cute black cat crafts are awesome ideas for DIY fun. These creative activities are perfect for celebrating the holiday with not-so-scary themes.
Oh, and you could also use these crafts for Letter of the Week fun (Cc)!
When I think of Halloween, a few themes immediately pop up in my head. Jack-o'-lanterns, candy, and costumes. Monsters, mummies, and a witch with her black cat riding off on her broom.
I was recently going through a bin of Halloween crafts that my boys and I enjoyed when they were younger. A black cat luminary craft (scroll down to see it!) brought back so many happy memories. And I was reminded of other black cat crafts that we loved - so I had to share with you!
Fun Ways to Use These Halloween Crafts
Need some ideas and inspiration for different ways to enjoy these crafts with black cat themes? You could make these crafts for kids during:
- arts and crafts time
- homeschool fun activities
- indoor recess
- brain breaks
- creative math center
- Halloween party
- storytime activity at the library
Remember to put your student's name and date (month and year works well) on the back of the crafts featuring cats for reference in later years.
As far as displaying your black cat crafts, I recommend considering the size of the craft. You may want to add it to a Halloween decoration collection, wreath, or near a trick-or-treat bowl. A fireplace mantle, wall, hallway, and refrigerator can be great places to show off all that hard work.
