There are several projects for Halloween that kids can help out with to get them involved in the action. Making scarecrows with goofy hats, straw, and old clothes or sheets to create ghosts of all sizes are simple crafts to make. Carving and painting pumpkins to place around the home or outside is another good idea for cost-efficient and fun decorations. Taking a Christmas tree and decorating it with black and orange streamers is a very unique piece to have for Halloween.
