Halloween is a great time for creative play with kids, but not every parent is a committed crafter. That’s where Halloween craft kits come in handy. Instead of racking your brain for ideas and then turning your house upside down searching for supplies — which are inevitably dried up, broken, or permanently relocated to a safe and unfindable place — leaning on premade kits allows you to spend your energy on the important stuff. (Fun!)
Klutz Halloween Craft Kits are a great place to start. They’re specially designed for kids of all ages and stages, fostering the perfect environment to spark creativity and build connection. Whether your child is a dedicated artist or reluctant to make a mess, these kits will help them paint, sculpt, decorate, and play. They’re also a perfect grab-and-go birthday present — essential to have on hand in fall, which seems to be birthday-party season.
Best of all, as your artists experiment and learn in a safe, fun way, they’ll be building confidence and connection that last long after the project is done.
Paint, Create, and Discover With Kids’ Favorite Characters
Spooky season brings kids’ faves to the fore. If you’ve got a kiddo who’s been dreaming up their perfect Halloween costume since school started, you know what we mean.
Playing with crafts is a perfect time to engage with your children’s interests. Whether they’re into wizards, cartoon characters, or scary stories, you can find craft kits featuring their preferred themes.
For example, Goosebumps fans will love this haunted activity book featuring mysterious messages, terrifying trivia, and games inspired by classic Goosebumps favorites like Slappy and the Haunted Mask. This Halloween kit comes with a UV light to help your little detectives find the clues as they solve the puzzles in invisible ink.
Meanwhile, Harry Potter enthusiasts of all ages will while away hours learning how to make their own Harry Potter friendship bracelets. This craft kit comes with easy-to-follow instructions, embroidery floss in Hogwarts House colors, a variety of beads, and four dangling charms.
These Halloween Craft Kits Come With Ideas, Materials, and Inspiration
The only thing better than a puffy sticker is one that glows in the dark. And with the Make Your Own Glow in the Dark Puffy Stickers kit, you and your artists can create up to 60 neon and glow-in-the-dark stickers. You’ll love laying the pieces, lining them up between the plastic plates, and squeeeeezing the stickers into shape.
Prefer your stickers fuzzy — and Pokémon-themed? Try the Klutz: Pokémon Color Your Own Fuzzy Stickers and color in your fuzzy favorites, including Pikachu, Eevee, and Charizard. There’s even a book to store your favorites, in case your kiddo can’t bear to part with their finished product.
Or maybe your little creatives are into clay. If so, they’ll love the Klutz Air-Dry Clay Animal Party, a kit that helps them make adorable clay animals with just a few simple steps — no sculpting experience required. Starting with simple shapes with balls, triangles, and snakes, kids use 10 colors of air-dry clay to assemble 15 different animals, including a boba bear, unicorn kitty, and an avocado axolotl (called the “Avolotl,” naturally).
Got a kiddo who likes to wear their creations on their nails? The Klutz Book of Nail Art was made with them in mind. It comes with over 700 stickers and 60+ step-by-step designs, including cute animals, trendy food, and holiday style. (Your child could coordinate their nails with their Halloween costume, maybe? The possibilities are endless.)
