Popsicle Stick Ghosts - Kid Craft Idea For Halloween

Ghosts Made From Popsicle Sticks

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

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

DIRECTIONS:

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!
