It’s hard to get into Halloween, with the sun beaming here in Italy like it’s mid-summer. But dates don’t lie: Fall is around the corner. At least at night there is a new freshness in the air, that tells me, Fall is indeed not that far away.
Getting Ready for Halloween
Over the last two years, we’ve done lots of Halloween crafts: pumpkin templates, Halloween costume ideas and designs, several Halloween coloring pages, ghost garlands and lots more. (CLICK link to find ‘m).
What I have featured too much of here is kids craft for Halloween. But, as I have been asked, I decided to do some toilet paper roll or other roll craft, and set you all up to make a bunch of adorable witches, which you can fill up with candy. Then, on Halloween eve, hand them out as Trick- or-treats.
