    Kids Halloween Craft Projects: Creepy Halloween Cups

    Crafts & DIY

    This post may contain affiliate links view our disclosure

    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!

    Make these easy Halloween crafts for kids! Creepy monster cups are so much fun!

    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.

    Make fun kids Halloween craft projects this year! These creepy cups are perfect for the whole family!

    Easy Kids Halloween crafts Materials

    Depending on which kids Halloween craft ideas you decide to make, you need a few different colors of paint and perhaps some pipe cleaners.

    The list below includes what you need to create all four cups. We’ve included affiliate links in case you need to order anything and we appreciate your support!

    • 4 plastic cups
    • Black, white, orange, & lime green paint

      This is such a cute idea. And just easy enough for my 2 year old to do with a little help and looks like I can get most stuff from the dollar store. Thanks for sharing!

      We love Halloween so much that we decided to make this entire year a Halloween year. It is fun, but it also means we need tons of ideas. This definitely makes the list.
