How to make cotton ghost crafts for kids

What you need:

cotton ball
black pom pom
cleaning tube (or another pom pom)
glue
string
drag
cardboard (paper plates are great too)

Step by step instructions

Draw a ghost on cardboard or on a paper plate.

If you are doing this Halloween activity with young children, be prepared for this step.

Older children can draw their own ghost.

Cut out a ghost shape from cardboard or a paper plate.

Apply a small amount of glue (white school glue works best) to a small area and stick a cotton pad on it.

Apply more glue and add another cotton ball.

Continue until the entire ghost surface of the paper plate or cardboard is covered with cotton balls.

Add a sufficient amount of glue to the black cotton ball and stick it onto the ghost cotton ball.

Repeat with another black pom pom.

Cut a small piece of black tubing, bend it into a U shape and glue it. Stick it to the ghost.

Alternatively, you can also use black paper.

And that’s it your cotton ball craft is done.
