Sharing is caring!

This Halloween, have fun making haunted house crafts out of anything – popsicle sticks, paper, boxes, paper rolls, cardboard paper plates and more!

Do you like visiting haunted houses? Well, I’m okay with the kiddie versions – the grown-up houses are a tad too scary for me!

It’s interesting to see that nearly every town and city used to have a haunted house of its own, with a very specific legend behind it. However, with rapid urbanization, all the haunted houses have turned into apartment buildings or malls, and no one has time for ghosts!

But we’re still keeping the spirit (pun intended) alive, with some fun and crazy haunted house crafts for kids to make this Halloween! You’ll be surprised how you can turn pretty much anything into a haunted house!
