Passing some time yesterday, we made a really simple Halloween craft. We used some butcher paper, but freezer paper would be great also. Decide how long you want your garland, then accordion fold. Draw your ghost on the top. We have a template if you like.
Cut your ghost out making sure to not cut around the hands.
Draw faces on each ghost
It wasn’t too long before someone decided the faces should be pink!
If I can find some long orange paper we will be making pumpkins! I think it would be funny to see all of the different faces she could come up with!
Love this!!
And here I was wondering what to do with my 4 yr old today! Perfect. I bet she’ll want pink faces too…and glitter. LOL
We did this last night, with the large roll of paper you get from Ikea -http://themadhouse-themadhouse.blogspot.com/2009/10/boo-our-halloween-ghosts.html thank you for coming up with such easy ideas for children
thanks for these wonderful ideas … We are in South Africa and have never celebrated Halloween before, so these are a fantastic start!
I am going upstairs to do this RIGHT now! Thanks. 🙂
We made these with several kids at church and they loved it. One boy made all of his ghosts different super heroes. It was very cute!
Thanks for the idea! I did this today with my 2 year old and 5 year old. My 5 year old daughter made clothes for her ghosts!
Neat idea! That sounds pretty easy to do. I think I will try that with my kiddos!
This is so much fun, kids could really keep busy with all those faces! I’ll be linking to this.
Excellent! Thank you so much for another great holiday activity I can do with my kids. We went boo-ing with your nifty cat mask pumpkins on Monday. The kids’ excitement was palpable.
I just found you blog! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I’ve been looking for crafts for my little girls to do today and we are so excited to try this garland!
What a great & fun idea. I like the curly tailed ghost – we’re going to do this today.
Aaaw, that’s so cute!! We gotta do this one! Thanks!!
What a cute idea!
We will have to do this today!
Oh, that is such a great idea! My daughter and I might have to do this this weekend. We just happen to have a whole bunch of butcher paper for some reason.
