We love simple and fun crafts that kids as young as toddlers or preschoolers can make. (Check out out collection of 200+ easy crafts for kids). And when it comes to Halloween crafts, we want them also not to be scary. We prefer smiley and silly instead.
And that is why our:
- Paper plate vampire needs a haircut
- Paper cup Frankenstein has a glowing nose
- Paper roll ghosts come with a sweet surprise
Today we’re making a paper bag Halloween black cat. While you don’t have to stuff the paper bag we preferred to take the extra step so the cat can stand on its on. This was it can make a nice Halloween decoration and you can place it anywhere, from the floor to the fireplace mantel.
