There are a lot of fun student art projects for Halloween. These can be used as decorations or even as part of a child’s costume. Consider the following ideas.
Make a mask
The children might enjoy making their own Halloween mask. You can have them all make the same thing or allow them the choice (although make sure that they only do something that is appropriate – you might not want any Freddy Kruegers in your elementary school classroom). You can just cut out the shape of a mask to go along with what it is. If it is a rabbit, for instance, make sure to include long floppy ears. You should cut out holes for the eyes, nose and mouth. For the back, you can cut a rubber band and then attach it to each side so that they can keep it on their faces. They can then decorate the front of the masks with crayons, markers and paints. You can also give them glue or paste and let them add things like feathers for a bird mask or something o represent whiskers for a cat mask. They can also add glitter and other items.
Pipe cleaner spider
The kids might enjoy using pipe cleaners to make a spider. This is very easy and costs next to nothing. They simply need to use one pipe cleaner as the body and then add four more twisted in the middle to make the eight legs. You can attach a string to the body so that they can make it a puppet.
Candy bowl
You can have the children decorate a candy bowl as an art project. They can bring in their own bowl or you can buy them for the children. You can then let them paint them. They can put on any Halloween motifs that they want such as witches, pumpkins, haunted houses and more.
Paint a pumpkin
The children might like to paint their own little pumpkin for Halloween. You can buy miniature ones at grocery stores and other places for very inexpensive. You can purchase paints that are specifically made to go on pumpkins. You can let them do it by freehand or they can use stencils.
A Halloween art project can be a lot of fun for kids and present them with a keepsake that they can keep. The above ideas may work for your classroom, however make sure that you adapt them for the grade of the children.
