While we were decorating for Halloween this week, the girls & I made 2 fun crafts. The first is a hanging ghost. Maggie actually sat & glued all of the cotton balls on herself & was so excited her ghost could “fly” when it dried.
Supplies:
Card stock cut into a ghost shape
Black paper
Glue
Cotton balls
hole puncher
Yarn or string
We made each ghost different: The first, I gave Maggie a bowl of glue & she dipped each cotton ball in the glue & stuck it onto the ghost. The 2nd I covered the ghost in glue & she just stuck the cotton balls all over it. Both were easy, but the 2nd way is just a little faster.
Then, cut eyes & mouth out of black paper & glue on. When it dries punch holes & hang with yarn or string.
Supplies:
Canvas (or paper)
Orange paint
Black paint
Craft Eyes

Ooh. I'm definitely pinning the handprint one! My daughter is only 14 months, so nothing too complicated. But I really love all handprint and footprint crafts! Will try it soon and let you know how it goes.

What a super cute idea for little ones to create a ghost bag. If you used a cotton muslin bag you could break out their craft every year. It would be cute to make them for all your doorknobs in the house. Thanks for sharing!
