Free Preschool Crafts

Preschoolers can make their own little pumpkin party favors to hold treats for a class party. Painting a jack o’ lantern face is optional!

What You Need: Egg carton cup (adult should pre-cut for little kids); 3/4″ wide strip of green construction paper; orange and black tempera paint; large and small paint brushes; hole punch and 2 office brads (or just staple handle on).
How You Make It: Paint egg carton cup orange, let dry and paint jack o’ lantern face if you’d like. Poke a hole on each side of the top of the cup and through the paper strip and use office brads to attach handle. Once dry, fill it with treats!

This craft doubles as a party treat! Make sure kids wash their hands before making this one. They’ll love shoving the candies and popcorn into the glove fingers. (But remember, popcorn can be a choking hazard for little kids.)

What You Need: Clean disposable clear plastic glove; popped popcorn; five red gumdrops or jelly beans; ribbon or yarn.
How You Make It: Shove one red candy into the tip of each glove finger and thumb. Fill glove almost full with popcorn. Tie shut (with adult help) to secure. Yum!
