Halloween is here! Looking for ideas for HALLOWEEN CRAFT projects? While I was looking through the FunLab archive for Halloween crafts the other afternoon, I rediscovered loads of great holiday ideas. I ran across so many cute projects that I decided to remake one. A couple of years a go we did a collaboration with…
Halloween is over. It is time to take down all the spooky decorations but we still have time to celebrate fall before the crazy preparations for Christmas begins. At the end of November, there is one American holiday that I absolutely love – Thanksgiving. My Italian version of Thanksgiving is about spending an afternoon with…
Which witch is which? One good thing about being packrat is that I save everything – even old craft projects. This summer during my craft box purge, I ran across a project that I did almost 9 years ago when Donatella and I first started the FunLab adventure. I found the FUNLAB WITCHES – a…

Halloween is my second favorite holiday in terms of crafts after Christmas (well maybe third after Easter). Therefore, it was just a matter of time before we looked for a book representing the Halloween season to insert in our BOOK CLUB project! Mr Pumpkin is the craft project that I suggest to accompany “The Little…
The evening before Halloween has finally arrived! The FunLab gang could not miss out on this great opportunity to makes lots of great decorations. Ghosts, spiders and spider web trick or treat bags: these are the projects that LOTS of kids of all different ages created during our weekend dedicated to Halloween. Just to get…
