| Everyone
loves being able to have fun and spooky decorations during
the month of October and now your toddler can make some
fun, simple and of course spooky Halloween decorations. |
| Step
1: Have your toddler take a piece of tissue and
roll it into a ball. They usually find that this part of
the craft is the most fun that they will like keeping wanting
to make tissue ghost to hang around the house for Halloween.
Then lay down another piece of tissue flat and place the
balled tissue in the center of it. |
|
| Although
tissue isn't something that you are going to throw away, like
the craft toilet paper roll, if kept in nice condition these
ghosts can last for many years. |
Step
2: Take the four corners of your flat tissue and
bring it up around the balled up tissue. If you have a rubberband
temporally put it around that gathered tissue that you have
made. Then take your string and a double knot around the
gathered tissue and remove the rubberband. You'll see the
shape of your ghost.
|
|
| This
rather tricky for a toddler and young child to get, and it
can be even tricky without the rubberband for an adult, so
have your child ball up another tissue for the next ghost
that you make while you do this. |
| Step
3: Lastly have your toddler make two black dots
on the ghost for their eyes, they can also use a marker
if that is something that they are aloud to use. If they
would like their ghost to have a nose, mouth or even a mustache
by all means encourage your little one to be creative and
to add their own to design to the tissue ghost. |
|
| Each
ghost takes two tissues total so make as many as you and your
toddler want to. |
| Step
4: After repeating steps 1 through 3 as many times
as you like you can measure the amount of string that you
need to string up your ghost. You have two options you can
either thread the string for the tied string on the ghost,
so they will move on the string, or tie them in place on the
long piece of string. |
|
| This
is a neat decoration that you can display all through the
month of October and again the next year for the next Halloween. |
