Looking for super easy Halloween crafts for kids? You can't get much simpler than our DIY ghost suckers! Check them out!

Looking for super easy Halloween crafts for kids? You can’t get much simpler than our DIY ghost suckers! They’re absolutely perfect for everything from trick or treat goodies to classroom parties! I’ve mentioned before that crafting isn’t really my thing, however, my mom and sisters are the bomb at it. I think I got skipped over on the “cool” section of things. Both my sisters and my mom are about the same height as well and I’m 5 inches shorter than all of them and have no crafting skills. What is going on?!

Anyways, fall crafts are starting to roll out and kids will need to start bringing themed snacks to school and parties will need to have the same themed treats, etc. Never fear, if you aren’t Pinterest perfect like me, here’s an easy snack/craft (they function as both, wow, I know, look at me go) that will work for multiple occasions this fall.
