This is the last Hallowe'en of the 20th Century and crafts are an ideal way to either build anticipation or keep the momentum going once all the treats are collected Saturday night.

And you don't need black magic to turn simple plain paper plates into bewitching decorations or Popsicle sticks into a glow-in-the-dark skeleton.

Here are a few crafts that will help entertain children over the Hallowe'en weekend: SKELETONS Craft sticks Glue Hanging ring White paint Squeeze creations Glow Pens by Elmer's Black felt GLUE two craft sticks into a `T' (for the spine and shoulders).
