Today’s Halloween themed kid craft is so much fun and incredibly easy for little ones. I’m talking kids of ALL ages will enjoy this one! There are less than 5 supplies {super cheap at that!} and it takes maybe a total of 10 minutes to complete – start to finish.
I call it Popsicle Stick Ghosts – but this kid friendly craft can be easily switched around to make Jack O’ Lanterns too. {we did something similar last year with our Popsicle Stick Pumpkins} And don’t let your imagination stop with what we used. You can complete your ghosts with felt pieces, pom poms or even more paint. Let that creativity fly! Heck – forget the paint brush and let your kids paint with their fingers!
Now let’s grab our supplies and get to “scaring” w/these ghosts!
Supplies:
* Popsicle Sticks
* White Paint
* Paint Brush
* Glue
* Black Cardstock
optional – paper punch
* First make the frame of the ghost or what I call, a fence. Just lay a few popsicle sticks down, side by side. Then take two popsicle sticks {one for your top and bottom} and glue them down the other direction to complete the fence. Let it dry completely.
* Now let your child paint their “ghost” completely white. Let that dry completely as well.
* To finish it off use paper punches or whatever other medium you have on hand, to give the ghosts a mouth and eyes.
