Halloween House Kids Craft

I've really been skimping out on my library craft posts!! Yikes. I thought I'd better toss this one in before we're moving on to Thanksgiving!! This is a Halloween House for toddlers and preschoolers to make. Pretty simple and *kinda* spooky....but not scary. :-)

What you need:

black poster paper (Dollar Store for .50cents each)

gluesticks

large white (or any fun color) 8x11 cardstock

Halloween Stickers (Target for a $1)

white printer paper

~Trim out the posterboard into pieces shaped like these (in black, below) and make duplicates:

 

 There is a folded door to make (seen on the right, here). It's just a rectangle with it's side folded, large enough to fit over the silo-shaped doors.

~Trim out the two white pieces seen above (small square and silo-shape) and make plenty of duplicates as well....these are the doors and windows of the house.

~Have the kids place the black pieces on the colored cardstock and make the house. 

~Have them add the windows and white doorways. 

~Glue the folded part of the black doors to the sides of the white door shapes so that the doors can open and close. Then start adding stickers behind the doors and around the house!!

Peek-a-boo!!
