Halloween Crafts For Kids
There is something about Halloween time that creates a fun way for crafts to be made. I am not sure if it's the thought of decorating your house in all kinds of Halloween goodies or the cooling of the weather and having the kids inside more.
We are a big fan of "non-creepy" type characters at our house. We tend to stick to candy corn, pumpkins, and cats. That is what makes this craft project so fun and not too scary.

Fill up the white tissue paper using the pieces of colorful tissue paper.
Glue the cat silhouette in the middle of the tissue paper.
