trunk or treat [simple] craft ideas

trunk or treat is saturday night...i obviously think it would be super cool to have the cutest little crafty area. however i'm also a realist and considering it's outside and i can't control the weather, not to mention whether to plan for 20 or 200 kids, i really need to keep it super simple. but super simple with the crafting i am not. i'm 99.9% sure it's just going to be a coloring table (unless it's really windy and then maybe just no craft area at all)

but here are a few simple halloween ideas that if you were doing crafts for a smaller group of kids could be really fun
(found here)
i think that instead of making it into a yard stake, i would just leave the pumpkin as is. or you could always just glue the sticks to a piece of paper...and have the sticks painted orange already if you were in a time crunch

(found here)
again this is pretty easy but really cute...and the circles could definitely be made ahead of time in order to hurry this project along

(found here)
this could take a little longer than the first two but i think that a wider age range of kids would enjoy this

(found here)
i think this is adorable and it would be so cute to make a couple of these and line them up somewhere...or fill a vase up with them

(found here)
faux stained glass candy corn...really cute and the tissue paper and pattern could be cut out before hand

(found here)
again you could have the tissue paper ready ahead of time and it would still be fun and pretty simple

i'm still looking for a cute halloween printable to use Saturday night. if all else fails, i think an orange circle with a green stem (both construction paper) would be pretty obvious as a blank pumpkin to create however each kid desires
i'll be sure to let you know what i end up doing!
