Whether they are making spooky vampire bat decorations or crafting wearable Dracula fangs, there is no limit to the fun and creativity your kids can unleash with these vampire crafts.
As Halloween approaches, I always look forward to choosing a spooky theme to celebrate my favorite holiday of the year. I enjoy decking out my place with decorations and planning costumes that fit the theme—it’s all part of the Halloween fun!
Right now I’m thinking about everyone’s favorite creature of the night . . . vampires! Vampires have been a staple of Halloween lore for centuries, making them a classic choice that never goes out of style.
Plus, there’s no shortage of creative inspiration when it comes to crafting vampire-themed decorations and costumes.
Adults can get inspiration for vampire outfits and decorations by watching some favorite vampires like the OG Count Dracula in “Bram Stoker’s Dracula”, Edward Cullen in the “Twilight” series, or Luis and Lestat in “Interview with the Vampire”.
Kids will love reading the Bunnicula book series, or watching Disney Junior’s Vampirina. Oh, and who could forget the Count on Sesame Street? Then they will be ready to try some of the awesome vampire crafts I’ve put together for you.
So, if you’re ready to sink your teeth into some Halloween fun this year, why not give the vampire theme a try? Scroll down for a list of vampire crafts that are sure to make this Halloween one your kids will remember!
