Paper Bag Haunted House Supplies:

* Large Paper Bag {brown or white – lunch sacks are perfect!}
* Shredded Paper or Old Newspapers
* Hand-Held Office Stapler
* Craft Paint {any colors you like!}
* Paint Brush
* School Glue
* Kid Friendly Scissors
* Colored Cardstock
* Sharpie Markers
* Ghost and/or Halloween Stickers

Directions:

* First have your child paint their paper bag however they like {we went with a a shade of purple all over}
* Set aside to let it dry a bit before moving on to the next step.
* Next have them stuff their paper bag with shredded paper until it stands nicely on it’s own and looks full.
* Then fold/staple the top of the bag so the shredded paper won’t come out.
* Next grab your various shades of colored cardstock and scissors.
* Out of the cardstock, draw/cut out haunted house features – a roof, windows, a door etc.
* Take your cutouts and staple/glue them to the stuffed paper bag piece.
* To finish off the Paper Haunted House – have children draw/glue on some other house features to the front of the paper bag, as well as some ghost stickers to give it life.
* Then place in an undisturbed area to display proudly all season long!
