13 Toddler Friendly Halloween Crafts

Now that Ellie is at the age where she enjoys crafting, coloring and really, anything she can make a mess with, I’ve been trying to dig deep into my ex-childcare teacher bag of tricks for more things for her to do.  Thankfully we have the internet these days and finding ideas is a million times easier than it was back when I was working as a toddler and preschool teacher.

With Halloween right around the corner, I thought we would focus on some toddler friendly crafts that Ellie and I can do together as well as a few that allow Joey to join in the fun too!

Here are 13 Toddler Friendly Halloween Crafts from around the web that we are hoping to find the time to create between now and October 31st!

Make Your Own CHUNKY Toddler Tie Dyed Crayons

We happen to go through A LOT of crayons in our house. I feel like I am constantly buying them. Over the years Zack & Libby were required to have crayons in their school supplies which always left us with baggies of crayon remnants at the end of the year. Now that Alexander is into coloring I have found that he performs better with the thick chunky crayons but these tend to be cost a bit more than your standard crayon so we decided to put our crayon remnants to good use and make our own chunky toddler tie dyed crayons.
