Directions:
- First download and print the FREE you are FA-BOO-LOUS card template listed above, on a single piece of cardstock paper. You will need to print ONE for each craft you want to do with your child.
- Now help your child cut/tear their second sheet of paper into small pieces.
- Next grab the school glue and put a good amount of glue ALL over the inside of the ghost design on the printable.
- Have children place their paper pieces on top of the glue {adding more if needed} until the body is completely covered.
- Next up – have kids cut out a small heart shape that will be “held” by their ghost.
- Help them pinch it in between the two clothespins. You will want it to look like “hands” holding the heart cutout.
- Assist them on gluing it to the center of their torn paper design.
- The final step is to add the googly eyes and any other embellishments they see fit.
- Once done decorating, set aside to let it all dry completely before displaying/gifting proudly!
