Last year we used glass paint to decorate old glass jars (like nutella and jam jars) then cut out a black strip of card for round the top, stuck on scary eyes and teeth and popped in a tea light. We used green and orange paints and it was so easy even for the little ones to get some paint onto the glass.

Ghostly white handprints - fingers together pointed down, black paint or googly eyes for face

That reminds me - last year we did pumpkin painting - real hands on craft activity that was so much fun.

Going to be brave and let them paint on my windows :-/ can u use normal paint with washing up liquid in it or do I need a special paint?

**silvermist** · 17-10-2013, 06:12 PM

I use normal kids paint and thats it. Washes off really easily with warm soapy water x

we made paper plate webs by making snips around the outside of the plate then winding wool around we then stuck a spider in the middle

use PVA glue onto a plastic surface (like a plastic paper sleeve) and make a spider web shape, either paint it or pour it, making sure all the lines touch. When dry you can peel it off the plastic and have a clear plastic web to use for decoration or to make a spider to live on. I normally make my spiders by woolen pompoms.
