We recently received a hamper full of Halloween craft goodies from Hobbycraft. The boys were very excited when we opened it and found a big papermache pumpkin, a plateful of foam shapes, stickers and ribbon, pom poms, paint and black glitter.
As there were so many goodies we thought it was only fair to share and invited a couple of friends around to make some Halloween crafts together.
However, the boys also wanted to something straight away, so I poured orange paint out for them both and they set to work painting the pumpkin. It was nice to see them working on a craft happily together.
My littlest, A, is only a year old but already know how much fun glitter is, so of course that was then shook all over the top. I have to say that it looks pretty good! We have a couple of tea lights that we can put in it for Halloween and place it on the windowsill for everyone to see.
For our crafting session we set out the painted pumpkin, bunting and Happy Halloween sign for decoration. Then on the table I used a couple of trays to put pom-poms, stickers, googly eyes in and the platter of foam Halloween shapes in the middle. I also added some paper plates and glue.
I just about managed holding my two back from playing with the crafts until their friends arrived and then they all got stuck in. We loved the selection of items on the party platter, definitely a great idea if you want to invite a few friends round for crafting!
They made paper plate decorations and hanging foam shape decorations, which I think they were pretty pleased with. I would certainly recommend Hobbycraft for your Halloween craft materials, a fantastic selection!
Do you invite friends over for crafts? Are you holding a Halloween crafting party?
