Create Spooky Fun with Toilet Paper Roll Ghost Craft
Get ready for a spooktacular time with this classic Halloween craft that's perfect for little ones! The paper roll ghost is a simple, mess-free activity that's sure to be a hit with preschoolers, kindergartners, and early elementary kids.
Gather your supplies: an empty paper roll, white paint or construction paper, a paintbrush, white crepe paper streamers or tissue paper, yarn or string, school glue, tape, or a stapler, and a black marker. To keep it mess-free, skip the paint and wrap the roll with white paper, then attach the streamers with tape. This craft is quick to set up and budget-friendly, making it ideal for home or classroom use.
For a science connection, hang your ghost in front of a fan or open window and discuss wind and motion. This craft encourages creativity and expression, supports early learning goals like fine motor skills and reusing materials, and is a great way to upcycle paper rolls. Tips include asking families to send in paper rolls ahead of time and using tape instead of glue for faster drying. If streamers aren't available, white tissue paper or paper towels can be used instead.
Once your supplies are ready, it's time to create! Prepare the paper roll, paint or cover it with white, cut streamers and yarn, draw a friendly ghost face, and attach the yarn for hanging. This paper roll ghost craft is not only fun but also promotes creativity and learning, making it a fantastic addition to your Halloween activities.
