We’ve drawn two simple ghost shapes.
Now, have kids carefully cut out the ghost shapes they’ve drawn.
Then, glue the ghost shapes onto the black cardstock.
Have kids draw eyes and a mouth on each ghost shape using a black marker.
They can draw the ghost faces however they wish! The ghost can be spooky, friendly or show off any other expression.
After the eyes and mouth are done, have them add pink circles to the ghost, making cute cheeks.
All done!
