Halloween Egg Carton Craft Ideas That’ll Delight Your Little Monsters
Create these spooky egg carton characters for a fun activity for all ages and abilities! You can easily adapt the designs of the characters to suit your child’s creative ideas. The porous texture of egg cartons makes them especially enjoyable for little hands to paint, and they dry quickly too. Plus, they’re perfect for small world games and endless imaginative play.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cut out each little section on the egg carton, trimming off all of the edges.
2. Apply paint to each egg cup. I painted an orange one for a pumpkin, a white ghost, a black spider, a green Frankenstein and a green and yellow monster. Leave to dry.
3. Apply some googly eyes for the face, and draw on any features with a black pen.
4. For the spider, take four pipe cleaners and twist them together in the middle. Stick them into the centre of the egg cup with glue or tape, and then bend each pipe cleaner to look like legs.
Egg-cellent Work!
And there you have it — egg cartons transformed into a spooky squad of Halloween fun! Whether your little ones made a googly-eyed ghost or a fang-toothed vampire, these crafts are all about creativity, giggles, and making memories. So don’t worry about perfection, embrace the mess, celebrate the weird, and let your imagination run wild. Happy crafting, and may your Halloween be filled with laughter, paint splatters, and just the right amount of spooky!
