We love making seasonal things, especially when it's Halloween. It practically invites the making of weird & wonderful things. To get 2023 off to a flying start, let's take a look at some of the things we've made for previous years. Let's blow the cobwebs of our arts and craft skills and find something spooky to make!

This is a simple make that sits on top of your :MOVE Motor and adds some Halloween drama to your remote-controlled buggy. The LEDs are used to replicate the flickering of candles, and the V2 micro:bit’s speaker is used to make a ghostly noise. Follow Emma's instructions and make your own!

Get festive this October with some easy Halloween makes! Emma guides you through how she made each of the following projects, and we've provided you with all of the necessary DXFs, PDFs, Illustrator Files, and HEX files. Read on to find out more.
