WHAT YOU NEED

  • playdough
  • playdough tools
  • wiggly eyes
  • string (ribbon, yarn, cord, etc)

WHAT YOU DO

  1. Roll or pat the dough until it is flat. White playdough is the most ghostly color.
  2. Draw a ghostly shape on the dough.
  3. Cut out the ghost with the cutting tool you like best.
  4. Push in wiggly eyes (you might need to take them out for baking).
  5. Poke a hole near the top (for the hanger, later).
  6. Let air dry or bake, according to recipe.
    (Glue eyes in place afterwards, if needed.)
  7. Add a ghostly hanger (ribbon, rope, chain, cord)
  8. Write your name and date on the back with a permanent marker.
  9. Hang on doorknobs around the house.

HANDY TIPS

This is a great craft for Halloween or Fall Festival events -- fun, fast, and easy! Kids can make their ghost right quick, and then take them home on a paper plate, to finish drying at home.
