Halloween Toilet Paper Ghost Craft

A festive Halloween craft for kids using paint and toilet paper rolls!
Prep Time20 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 paint brush
  • white paint
  • 1 sheet of paper
  • 1 pencil
  • 1 Pair of Scissors
  • 1 bottle of glue
  • 2 googly eyes
  • 1 toilet paper roll

Instructions

  • Step 1: To make this craft, start by gathering up all the items mentioned in the previous section and setting them on a craft mat.
  • Step 2: Then, use the white paint and paintbrush to coat the toilet paper rolls. Just know that you may need to do 2-3 coats to get a solid white finish. Alternatively, you could use white paper and glue it to the outside of the toilet paper roll if you don't have paint or want to avoid it altogether.
  • Step 3: While the paint dries, trace your child's hand and cut it out. I recommend using a pencil for this step and then using an eraser to get rid of the pencil marks once the hand shape has been cut out.
  • Step 4: Before using any glue, measure where to place the the handprints. For ours, we chose to make the top came over the edge of the toilet paper roll. This way, those cute little traced fingers don't get all bent out of shape when the toilet paper roll is stood up.
  • Step 5: Use the glue to attach the traced hand prints to the toilet paper rolls. Next add the eyes and facial features such as eyebrows and a mouth.
