You'll need
Directions
- Collect your supplies: black paper, white paint, a small dish, a ghost-shaped cookie cutter, glue, and googly eyes.
- Pour some white paint into the dish, then dip the cookie cutter into the paint so the cutting edge is coated.
- Press the cookie cutter onto the black paper to stamp ghost shapes. Wiggly prints are fine – they make the ghosts look like they're flying.
- Apply a dab of glue to the back of each googly eye and stick them onto the ghosts to create eyes.
- Dip your child's finger (or your own, if they insist you do it) into the white paint.
- Press the painted finger onto each ghost to form a mouth.
- Let the paint and glue dry completely before displaying your ghost art.
