Spooky Ghost Halloween Preschool Craft

Here is a simple preschool craft that will help get you in the Halloween Spirit. With things you have around the house – hanger, plastic garbage bag, paper and marker – you will be on your way to decorating your haunted mansion. Make several and hang them around your porch on Halloween night to greet trick or treaters in your neighborhood.

What You Need

White Plastic Garbage Bag
Hanger
String for Hanging
2 Sheets White Construction Paper
Black Marker
Scissors
Glue or Tape

How You Make It

Step One:
Draw a ghost head onto the construction paper and cut out two of them. On one, let your preschooler draw a crazy ghost face.

Step Two:
Cut a small hole in the bottom center of the plastic garbage bag and insert the hanger. Then, cut strips in the bag, about 3” wide up to the hanger.

Step Three:
Tie the string onto the hanger so you will be able to hang your finished ghost. Now, glue, tape or staple your head, back to back around the top of the hanger. Hang it in an area of your house that is sure to spook visiting trick or treaters!

Variations

You can use black plastic garbage bags for other Halloween decorations such as witches or bats.
