Halloween Banner Decorations

Children love to decorate the house for Halloween, and here is a simple (and cheap!) way for them to make their own Halloween decorations.
Gather together a selection of coloured paper or card, and for variety
print out some of our Halloween pattern sheets
too. Find some string, wool (yarn) or ribbon, paper clips or a stapler to
join your shapes together, and then choose what shapes you would like to
include in your banner.
Use our Halloween templates for
inspiration. We have a pumpkin shape which works well, especially if the
children draw in their own faces and you get a series of pumpkins with
different expressions! Add in a star, as above, or intersperse with ghosts
cut out of white card (or even scraps of bubble wrap), cats and bats cut
from black card, and maybe a haunted house or two!
Your banner can be assembled randomly or you can follow a strict pattern. When you have
enough shapes ready, simply attach them together with paper clips or a
stapler (for the strongest banner), or string them together by punching
holes at each side and joining with string, wool or ribbon. Hang and
enjoy!
