Halloween Craft Idea – Spooky Ghost

I don’t know about you, but I really love Halloween. And since having children I enjoy it even more. With Halloween comes lots of creative themed fun for the little ones – here is a very simple and easy idea of a craft activity that you can enjoy with your playgroup.

My tips for this activity: can get a bit messy with the glue, so be aware! Also, it turns out my three year old wasn’t a fan of a “spooky” ghost so we did a happy ghost which he really liked!

Here’s how to make your spooky ghost…

What you’ll need:

WhatYouNeed
– White card
– Black paper
– Scissors
– Craft glue
– Cotton balls
– Paint brush

What you do:

1. Draw an outline of a ghost on the white card – it doesn’t need to be fancy, I just free-hand drew this oSteo01ne (as you can tell!) and cut it out

 

 

 

2. Paint the white card with glue (note: might be a good idea to put the glue in a container first)Step02

 

 

 

3. Stick the cotton balls on Step04

 

 

 

4. Cut out eyes and a mouth for the ghost with the black card (I had mine pre-cut already so they could select which ones they wanted to use) and glue them on top of the cotton balls and voila! A spooky (and a happy) ghost!

I think these would also look really cool hung up around the room as well! Enjoy!
