There’s so much to get excited about at Halloween – getting crafty and creative with some fun family crafts is one of many things I love about the spooky season. So, if you’re anything like me, you’re going to love this round-up of easy mummy crafts for Halloween.
From easy paper plate mummy crafts for tiny tots to mason jar mummy decorations for big kids to make, you’re sure to find your mystical mummy craft of choice.
You won’t even need to go to the store to buy a ton of stuff that will end up hidden deep in the cupboards, these mummy crafts and projects use the simplest of materials.
And if you’re looking for some Halloween treats of the mummy variety, this post has got you covered too.
How do you make a Halloween mummy?
Wrap something in a bandage or a material that resembles a bandage and there’s a good chance it’ll look like a mummy. Crepe paper, gauze, construction paper and painters tape are ideal to imitate the wrapped bandages.
Paper plates, cups and toilet paper rolls make good mummy bodies, just wrap them in your “bandage” of choice, add eyes and, hey presto, you have a mummy.
So making a mummy should be a simple process and can be done in a huge number of different ways. Your only issue will be deciding which one of these gorgeous mummy crafts for Halloween to choose!
Easy Mummy crafts for Halloween
Not only are these Halloween mummy crafts super cute but they’re pretty simple too. Most are easy enough to make with toddlers, without you needing a bucketload of time and patience, followed by a laborious clean up.
If you’ve got a toddler or two at your feet, I’d recommend careful consideration of any craft, before starting out. Nothing is ever too simple when it comes to crafting with toddlers!

Knuckle Mummies
There are plenty of handprint crafts around, but I’ve never seen one made out of knuckle prints! What a unique and creative mummy craft and art project for Halloween.
The knuckles of a clenched fist make the mummy’s body. The arms, legs and head are made from finger and thumb prints. Googly eyes and hand drawn mouth complete the look.
Be sure to use non-toxic baby safe paint that’s gentle on the skin, like this washable tempera.

A clever little learning activity and the paper twisting part is a great sensory activity that practises fine motor skills too.
