Spooky Window Ghosts
Here is a very easy Halloween craft for all ages of children. Even though the ghosts are simple, they kept my kids amused for a long time and
Tilly used to get them out of their "ghost house", line them up carefully and count them before puting them back, over and over again!
You will need:
Used tumble-dryer fragrance sheets
A black pen
Scissors
Sticky-tack
Optional - an empty film canister or other small, safe container
Instructions follow...
Cut ghostly shapes out of the dryer sheets and draw simple faces on
them. Make them all shapes and sizes, smiley and spooky! Use two tiny
pieces of stick-tack, positioned over their eyes, to stick them onto
windows or mirrors. They look particularly effective and ethereal if the
light comes in behind them.
My 4-year old loved the little ghosts we made so much that we kept on
making them, cutting several out at once and getting smaller and smaller!
We then stored about 30 of them in one tiny film canister, and this became one of her special treasures, going everywhere in her pocket. She
stands high on a chair and sprinkles them over her friends, who squeal
with delight as they catch them and put them back in the canister to start
all over again ...... proof that the simple things really can provide the
most amusement!
