Spiders Web Windows

  • Black thread/wool
  • Drawing pins
  • Cotton wool

How you do it:

  • Secure drawing pins around the frame of the window
  • Run thread across the window between the pins to make a web
  • Hang cotton wool off the thread to look like cobwebs
  • If you’re feeling extra creative you can even make a spider out of an egg box and pipe cleaners

Pumpkin Bunting

What you need:

  • Orange crepe paper/card
  • String
  • Felt Tips

How you do it:

  • Cut out a load of pumpkin shapes
  • Children can paint/draw different faces on the pumpkins
  • Depending on the thickness of the card, either make little loops out of string and stick them on the back of the pumpkins with sellotape & thread onto the string, or piece a hole in the top of the pumpkin if the card is thicker and thread the string through.
  • This doesn’t have to just be pumpkins! Can be ghosts, witches hats, broomsticks or black cats!

Happy Halloween! 🎃
