After some research I found 10 simple and fun Halloween crafts which suit all children.
Making Halloween Cards
What you need:
Card or even plain paper
Crayons
Envelopes
Stamps
Printer
This was definitely my favourite idea. Logan is 1 and a half years old and at that age that everyone was excited to see his reaction to Halloween this year, so there was quite alot of disappointment with the realisation that with everything going on and restrictions coming into place we wont be seeing anyone this Halloween and we are fortunate enough that he knows no better.
So I thought why not make Halloween cards to post to his grandparents with him.
I found a great printable and I had card there so off I went printing them out. Sat him down with his crayons and off we went colouring.
Handprint Bats
What you need:
Black paper
Pritstick
Googly Eyes
Scissors
White marker or tippex
Draw out the children's hand shape. Cut out the hand shapes. Glue them together as per the picture below, glue on the googly eyes and draw on the smile.
Cotton Wool Ghosts
What you will need:
Paper
Glue
Cotton Balls
Scissors
Black paper or a black marker
Cut out the ghost shape, glue the cotton balls on and stick on the eyes from the black paper or even just draw it on with a black marker.
Lollipop Ghosts
What you will need:
Lollipops

Halloween Toilet Paper Roll Crafts

Use the tissue out of the box for the lollipop ghosts and then use the empty box to make the monster. Let the kids use there imagination here, cut out shapes, paint them different colour's and stock on loads of googly eyes.

These cute ghosts make easy decor for just about anywhere in your house. Start by accordion folding paper into approximately 3" sections. Then, trace a ghost shape on the top piece, making sure it has arms that connect to the edges of the paper, and cut out the shape. Repeat with more paper if you want to make it longer, and attach the strands with clear tape
I got these fabulous ideas from the websites www.goodhousekeeping.com and www.redbookmag.com, they had tonnes more great ideas but I just took the easiest and simplist ones I could find because lets be honest most of us don't have a crafts corner.
