These collections contain materials and instructions for creating Halloween-themed decorations and art projects, largely utilizing a lightweight, spongy polymer substance. For instance, a kit might include pre-cut shapes, adhesive elements, and guidance to assemble a three-dimensional pumpkin or a bat ornament.
The appeal of these sets lies in their accessibility and safety, particularly for younger age groups. Their use fosters creativity, develops fine motor skills, and offers a structured approach to seasonal crafting activities. The historical context shows a rise in popularity alongside the increasing commercialization of seasonal celebrations, driven by a demand for accessible and convenient decorative options.
