We had a bit of Halloween fun around here yesterday. Molly was home from school because of a PD Day for the teachers and I needed something fun and easy to do that would satisfy the age range I have around here during the day.

I went with ghosts.

Super simple and I had all the stuff on hand, or rather, I made it up based on what I had on hand!

Styrofoam cups, black permanent marker, string, white tissue paper, glue stick, and a wooden skewer to poke holes.

First, we drew faces:

Then I poked a hole in the top of each cup:

I tied a knot in the string and poked it through the hole from the inside out (with some “help”):

Glue stick around the inside edge:

And the kiddies stuck on the strips of tissue:

Aren’t they fun?

The kiddies had a blast making them:

Next up…. pumpkins? Or footprint ghosts? Any suggestions?
