5 Amazing Halloween Inspired Crafts Using Ice Cream Sticks

It’s that time of the year when Indians become ‘glocal’ and rejoice the best of both the worlds. We celebrate International as well as national festivals within the same month. I am talking about the ‘evil warding’ Halloween and of course our beloved ‘festival of lights’ Diwali. Imagine a child’s excitement at the prospect of dressing up for Halloween and lighting up the house for Diwali. And what’s more exciting than to create diyas and Halloween monster crafts using ice cream sticks left from the summer months?
