Cotton Ball Ghost - Kid Craft w/free printable template

Cotton Ball Covered Ghost Craft Idea For Kids

Happy Saturday friends! It’s time for another Halloween inspired kids craft idea on Glued To My Crafts and this one has an extra special thing attached to it!

I know not everyone is savvy when it comes to drawing by hand, so today’s craft has a FREE ghost outline printable template to go along with it.

The goal is for you to download, print and get straight to crafting up your cotton ball ghost friend! No need to come up with a design or anything of the sort! If all goes well {and there is a good amount of clicks on this very post} I’ll be doing more kid friendly craft templates like this in the future. But before we get into that – let’s talk about this friendly Halloween tutorial. Shall we?!

Our ghost is made out of cotton balls {hello inexpensive} and is fun for all ages. Young children can even practice their cutting skills by cutting along the thick black line in the template.

Now what are you waiting for? Just grab the FREE provided ghost outline file below and get to work! Easy peasy!!!

Happy crafting, my friends!!! If you don’t mind, I would love to see how your cotton ball haunted friend creations turn out. Come share some pictures on our Facebook page when you are done! #gluedtomycrafts
