Cute Halloween crafts to do with your toddler. I made the salt doug everything else was found at Dollar Tree
Salt Dough
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup salt
1 cup water
Combine the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Gradually add water while stirring and mixing to form a dough with a Play-Doh like consistency.
Form the dough into a ball and knead for approximately 5-7 minutes or until the dough is smooth and firm. Additional water may be needed, depending upon humidity. Add a teaspoon of water at a time until the dough reaches the proper texture. On the other hand, if the dough is too sticky, add more flour by the teaspoon until it's no longer tacky.
Store the salt dough in a Ziploc bag when it's not in use to prevent it from drying out.
If you want to bake your salt dough crafts, place them on a foil-covered baking sheet in a 250-degree oven. Baking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of your crafts. Thin items will take about an hour, other items like this pumpkin decoration can take up to 3 or 4 hours. Bake until surface turns light golden brown. Turn each piece frequently so that they dry out evenly. If an area puffs up, poke a hole in it with a pin or toothpick to release the air.

Halloween is a wonderful time to engage your little ones in creating memorable crafts that double as decorations. Using salt dough, you can mold a variety of shapes to match the seasonal theme. Salt dough is easy to make with basic ingredients like flour, salt, and water, allowing children to actively participate in the mixing and kneading process. This tactile experience not only enhances their fine motor skills but also provides a chance for creative expression. Items shaped into pumpkins, ghosts, or bats can be painted afterward to bring them to life. For added fun, involve your toddler in the painting phase after the items have baked and cooled. Non-toxic paints can be used to ensure safety. Hang the finished crafts around your home, or even use them as gifts for family and friends. Moreover, working together on such crafts promotes bonding and joy during the Halloween season. You can also encourage your child to share their creations with family members, fostering a sense of accomplishment. So gather your supplies, let your child's imagination soar, and make this Halloween unforgettable with delightful DIY activities!
