If you want to make Halloween crafts for your whole family, this book will guide you on how to do it step by step. Here is what you will read in this book: Chapter 1: Bewitching The Neighbors When I was a child in the Dallas area, my big brown eyes would be popping at Halloween time with vivid images, shapes, characters, and colors designed to capture the imagination and transport one into another sense of reality. I recall scary voodoo zombies regaling the windows of storefronts, Halloween jesters staring out from behind curtains, expressive uses of masks, and these visuals combined with music and food would be a fun, frightening feast for the senses. Chapter 2: Quick Crafts The only bad Halloween craft project is the Halloween craft project that takes too long. You know the ones. The craft projects have so many steps that you've lost the attention of your kids before step 2. Give these easy Halloween craft ideas a try. They're short; they're sweet; they're fun and the end results are spooktacular. Chapter 3: Crafts For The Kids This is one of my favorite Halloween crafts for kids. It is quick and simple, can be done with a crowd if necessary, and is an excellent way to practice cutting and fine motor skills with younger children. Older kids can let their imaginations take over and create some really wacky spiders! Many kids love Halloween. There are parties, costumes, and every kid's favorite - candy. Trying to keep kids entertained until Halloween night can require the patience of Gandhi himself. Here are some easy Halloween crafts that you can use to keep the kids entertained. Chapter 5: Treats And Pumpkins If you are planning a Halloween party of any type, there is a good chance that food will be involved. However, with Halloween being a night of creeps and spooks, you might want to get a little more creative than the typical chips and dip. Here are some ideas for how to incorporate the themes of the season and the holiday into your kitchen.
