Creating a Halloween Tree

There was a tired mommy who lived in a crowded shoe
She had so many Halloween crafts
She didn’t know what to do!

I know! Let’s make a Halloween Tree!

When the kids were little, we used to do a lot of Halloween crafts. This was for something to do, or to practice fine motor skills or just to make some cool decorations.

Then, the crafts started to compile, and I didn’t know what to do with them. This is when we created the Halloween Tree.

The Halloween tree has now become a part of our yearly tradition.

I went to the backyard and found a big branch – the more offshoots the better! We put the branch in a big vase, put strings on our crafts and started hanging them on the tree!

I make sure I write the child’s name and date on the crafts – especially the ones make with hand and footprints – so we can see how much they have grown year to year.

We don’t make as many crafts at home now that the boys are both in school, but we have fun decorating the Halloween tree each year!

The ideas for most of the Halloween crafts came from my Pinterest board on Halloween. As I am not crafty, none of them are particularly hard!
