Halloween ghost decoration

[Kindergarten/Daycare] October Halloween Ghost Decorations

This is a perfect craft for Halloween wall decorations or hanging ornaments! First, stick the eyes and tongue of a ghost, along with a hat folded from origami, onto a paper cup.

Next, attach yarn to Halloween motifs made from construction paper and connect and secure them to the paper cup.

The origami hat might be a bit complicated for three-year-olds, so teachers can prepare them in advance.

You can also have fun customizing the motifs—pumpkins, ghosts, witches, and more.

Through this activity, why not make Halloween even more exciting together with the children?

Popping Bubble Wrap Mushroom

Perfect for autumn wall displays! 'Bubble Wrap Mushrooms' (recommended for 3-year-olds)

Why not try making mushrooms using bubble wrap, a cushioning material handy for shipping items? First, cut out a mushroom from construction paper.

Be sure to cut the cap and the stem separately.

Next, cut the bubble wrap into the shape of the cap and stick it onto the construction paper cap.

After that, just let the children color freely with markers or pens.

If they color in the round bubbles, it creates a pretty polka-dot pattern.

If you plan to use them as wall decorations, mushrooms alone can look a bit plain, so draw autumn leaves and other motifs on construction paper and have the children cut them out as well.
