If you’re trying to scare up some fun Halloween ideas, you may want to haunt through a favorite Halloween fright site for kids, FamilyFun.com/halloween.

Each week in October, the site features a new spooky printable coloring page. There’s also a new “superhero” fun center that encourages kids to create their own superhero costumes with printable masks, belts and other fun accessories. To take the pressure off busy moms, the site also features a last-minute costume section.

Here’s a sampling of two Halloween ideas on the site that are not only easy, they’re also fun to try:

Wicked Witchy Pumpkin

Try conjuring up this green-faced witch for a haunting porch or window decoration.

What you need:

Pumpkin

Green spray paint

Tempera paint and brushes

Carving knife

Marbles

Glue

Small nails

Black wig

Cape

Witch hat

Time needed: Under 1 hour.

Step 1: Begin by coating the pumpkin with green spray paint.

Step 2: Add facial features with tempera paint.

Step 3: Next, carve out eye sockets and lodge the marbles inside to form her beady eyes. Break off the top stem and re-attach it to the pumpkin with glue for the witch’s nose.

Step 4: To finish, fix the black wig in place with small nails and add the cape and hat.

PAINTED PUMPKINS

Let the littlest revelers have their pumpkins-and paint them, too-with this fun activity.

What you need:

Pumpkins

Tempera paint and brushes

Yogurt containers

Newspaper

Masking tape

Time Needed: Under 1 hour.

Step 1: Cover a table with newspaper (tape it down with masking tape so it stays covered).

Step 2: Set out liquid tempera paints, paintbrushes, and plastic yogurt containers filled with water for rinsing the brushes.

Step 3: Let the kids paint goofy or creepy faces on the pumpkins.
