Not all kids like the scary aspect of Halloween. This fun project features silly ghosts and challenges kids to experiment with different cartoon-style facial features. Affiliate links below. 

Silly Ghosts Halloween Craft

Materials: 

• cardstock or construction paper (black and white)
• patterned paper (orange, green, purple)
• scissors
• black Flair pen
• craft glue

Steps: 

Cut a piece of black cardstock into the size you want your finished art to be. Then cut squares of patterned paper to fill the background. My background is 8" with nine 2.5" squares, but you can make any size you want. Glue the squares in place. 

Cut ghost shapes from white cardstock. Try to vary the shapes, making them different sizes, with and without arms, etc. Then draw silly faces on each ghost. Play around with different eye shapes and mouth shapes, then add teeth or tongues to some of the ghosts. It could be fun to add silly eyebrows, mustaches, or other features too. Glue the ghosts in place.
