Pick the Halloween paper plate characters you want to make. Then pick the paint color that matches the plate: orange for the pumpkin, black for the spider, and white for the ghost.
Paint the entire plate and let it air dry for at least 30 minutes.
When dry, decorate as below.
Halloween Pumpkin Craft
Cut out triangle shapes from a thick black paper board to make the pumpkin nose and eyes. Then, cut the mouth shape as seen in the pictures above, or be creative!
Glue the shapes with school glue on the painted paper plate.
Halloween Ghost Craft
Use a permanent black marker or black paint to make the eyes and nose.
Use a hole puncher to punch 4 holes on each side of the black paper plate.
Halloween Spider Craft
Place on pipe cleaner in each hole, twist the end to hold to the plate.
