Did you ever read this story? It's very cute. It's about a little ghost that is weary of scaring people. He gets into a few predicaments before he finds his voice. (It's funny one of the things that happens to him is that he gets hung on a clothesline to dry. The children didn't know where he was. I think I'm one of the few that still hangs my wash.)
Anyway, the Pre-K teacher had the cutest ghost out yesterday and it made me think of this story. I thought the ghost would be a great addition to the story.
To make the ghost you will need:
a white paper bag
newspaper
arms cut from white paper
marker
stapler
He is really easy to put together. The first thing to do is to fray the bottom(or top) of the paper bag. I thought the children could just cut slits, or you will see this ghost has a jagged cut bottom.
Now take a black marker and draw a spooky face. Crumble some newspaper and stuff it into the bag. Put in a few staples so that the newspaper will stay in the bag when it upside down. Finally take two cut out arms and staple them to a crease in the side of the bag.
I thought it would be neat to maybe feed a string in the top and hand the ghost. Happy Halloween.
