Crafts are an amazing way for tweens and teens to unplug from screens, express their creativity, and even make thoughtful gifts for friends and family.

They’re perfect for fun, screen-free time with friends—and also make great activities for birthdays, sleepovers, or rainy days when you want something engaging and hands-on. I love seeing my own daughter get completely absorbed in a project, coming up with ideas I never would have thought of, and feeling proud of what she creates.

The best part? These crafts are actually cool, not “kiddy,” so kids will be excited to dive in and genuinely enjoy the process. On this list, you’ll find everything from trendy TikTok-inspired projects to hands-on art crafts that let them experiment, explore, and make something uniquely their own.

Try one of these projects this weekend and watch their creativity—and confidence—shine! For thousands more craft ideas for kids of all ages, check out our Crafts for Kids Guide. For your hard-to-please teens, we've also got a Teen & Tween Activities Guide, filled with ideas we've run by our kids to ensure they're teen-approved, not mom-lame.

These kids' Halloween movies bring all those witches, ghosts, and goblins to life in classic, not-too-scary movies that are perfect for a family-friendly Halloween movie night!

Whip up a seasonal batch of scarecrow snack mix (you'll find the recipe in our list of scary-easy Halloween party snack ideas) while you settle in for a cozy night on the couch with one of these kids' Halloween movies. With so many spooky films available to rent or stream, it can be hard to choose the right one for your family. From preschool to preteen, our list of the best kids' Halloween movies has something to put everyone in the right spirit.
