Popsicle Stick Ghosts – Craft Idea For Halloween

Popsicle Stick Ghosts – Kids Craft Idea For Halloween

Today’s Halloween themed kid craft is so much fun and incredibly easy for little ones. Not to mention – it’s not scary at all to recreate!

I’m talking kids of ALL ages will enjoy this ghost themed craft idea! 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! Find all the crafty details below in our easy step-by-step tutorial below!

Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your ghost friends made from wood craft sticks on our Facebook page, to admire! #gluedtomycrafts

Popsicle Stick Ghosts {Kid Craft} There are less than 5 supplies and it takes maybe a total of 10 minutes to complete - start to finish.

Supplies:

• JUMBO Sized Popsicle Sticks {9 per ghost craft}
• White Craft Paint
• Foam Paint Brush
• School Glue
• Black Colored Cardstock
• optional materials - paper punches, craft glitter, Halloween stickers

Instructions:

• First make the frame of the popsicle stick ghost or what I call, a fence. Just lay SEVEN 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 square shape.
• Let it dry completely.
• Now let your child paint one side of their "ghost" completely white.
• Let that dry completely as well.
• To finish it off your ghost creations, use paper punches or craft scissors, to give the ghosts a mouth and eyes out of the black cardstock paper.
• Use the glue to secure those in place on the painted popsicle stick shape.
• Then display your craft stick ghost creations proudly for all to see!
