Halloween Jack-O-Lantern Garland #halloween #diy #craft #kidshalloweenactivities #kidshalloweencraft #jackolantern #fall #autumn #kidscraft #toddlercraft #toddleractivities #sensoryplayAlright guys! I’m back with another quick and easy project for you to do with your kids this Halloween! Today’s craft is a DIY Jack-O-Landern Garland made from your child’s paintings!

Locky my two year old loves painting. He asks to paint about 20 times a day. I try to let him to it a few times a week at least. I usually place every colour paint he owns on a dish and let him go nuts. This time though I decided to play with two colours for a fun Halloween painting project. I gave him black and orange and some little sponges I purchased at the kids section at one of our local art supply stores.

He loved sponge painting (totally doing it again soon) and loved using black! He kept saying “black, black, black”. Haha. Got to love cute little toddlers and their insane amount of repetition!

Perfect. I’m loving incorporating his little creations now he’s a little older and able to really get into his arts and crafts.

As you can see he was very much concentrating on his masterpiece. Then mummy had to tuck a tea towel into his short to protect it from the black paint mess he was starting to create! We used some kids paints from Ikea I picked up for a few dollars. They are really awesome. Highly recommend them.

First I started by drawing a simple Jack-O-Lantern on a piece of thick paper. If you’re not too comfortable with freehand drawing there are lots of images on the internet you can print and trace for this project.

So much easier than scissors but scissors will also work if that’s all you have.

I could only fit four on each page but I wanted them a little bigger.

I got some thick twine and hot glued each little Jack-O-Lantern making sure I spaced then out evenly on the twine.

Now we have a cute little DIY Jack-O-Lantern Garland hanging from our fireplace and I love it because my baby painted it!

    Hi, Maria ~ This garland is so cute, and I love that your munchkin added all of those great colors to the jack-o-lanterns! My kids are teenagers, but I think they might enjoy this project, too. :0) Thanks for sharing with us at the Merry Monday Link Party! Hope to see you again on Sunday night!

    That garland looks very cool! We don’t celebrate halloween here. It’s not really our thing at all.

      We don’t really celebrate it in Australia but they do celebrate here in Belgium so I’m jumping on board and joining all the Halloween fun! 😉

    This is so adorable! Have you ever tried using glue dots for the garland? I try not to use my glue gun because of the stringy mess it usually makes!
