Halloween Light Jars

Mason jars or any old glass jars that you’ve cleaned can be upcycled for some easy crafts that both younger and older kids can have fun making. Either paint the jars in Halloween colors or wrap them in tissue paper or gauze to create a fun effect, like this cute mummy jar. Secure the wrapping with school glue or Mod Podge. Once the jar is dry put an electric tea light on the inside and watch it glow.

Craft Pumpkins

Nothing says Halloween quite like pumpkin crafts, but the downside to using a real pumpkin is that it doesn’t last long. Instead, pick up a craft pumpkin that you can decorate with stickers, paint different designs on or even carve. Then you can easily display it in your living room year after year.

Halloween Slime

Turn regular slime into Halloween slime with nothing more than some confetti. Mix up a batch of slime. We love the ease of the Elmer’s Magical Liquid Slime activator. Add in some Halloween confetti or googly eyes and you’re set!

Glow Drinks

This is a great activity that doubles as a spooky science project. All you need is a clear plastic cup, markers, tonic water, drink mix (optional) and a black light. Have the kids draw a jack o’lantern or face on the side of the cup. Fill the cup with tonic water and if you’d like to flavor it, stir in a powdered drink mix. Turn the lights out and point a black light at the cup and see it glow! The quinine in the tonic water is fluorescent, which is what makes it glow.
