Making your own Halloween crafts is an excellent way to get kids involved while also making happy memories around the holiday season!
One idea that we love for young children is this witch cut and paste craft.
This activity not only provides kids with an opportunity to have fun crafting, but it also helps them develop skills such as scissor use and following directions.
We’re giving you the free printable and your kids can choose exactly how they want to make it.
Either print it out in full color and begin assembling your witch or print it out in black and white and let the kids use their imagination to create their own unique witch!
Both ways the kids are bound to have fun!
