Paper Plate Witch
"With Halloween being just around the corner, these festive decorations are sure to please. We love easy Halloween crafts for kids and this is one of the cutest. This easy and fun craft is a cute decoration for kids’ Halloween parties. We made some to tape to our kitchen door to celebrate fall! We used green paper plates, but of course kids could paint white paper plates green. To make a paper plate witch you need: green paper plates, black and orange construction paper, wiggly eyes, a black permanent marker, black yarn, tape, and white school glue."
