We drew two simple ghost shapes.

Now, have children carefully cut out the spooky shapes they drew.

Then, glue the spooky shapes onto black cardboard.

Have your child draw the eyes and mouth for each ghost using a black marker.

They can draw spooky faces however they want! The ghost can be spooky, friendly, or show any number of other expressions.

Once the eyes and mouth are done, have the children add pink circles to the ghost, creating cute cheeks.

All done!

This eco-friendly craft is a quick and easy no-prep project, perfect for crafting at home and in the classroom.
