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
