The holidays are a great time for creating family memories and making some fun crafts. I love finding and creating kids halloween craft projects because my kids are completely into doing art projects.
So we recently created our very own Halloween monster friends with these fun and creepy cups!
Kids Halloween Craft Projects: Creepy Halloween Cups
To make these cups and some of our other kids Halloween craft projects, you have to be willing to get a little messy since there is paint involved.
Weston and I made all four friends so there was a lot of handwashing in between cups and paint colors. But you could make just one or two of these guys and not have to deal with quite as much paint.
