Cheesecloth
Liquid starch/fabric stiffener
Black paint
Jar or glass for propping
Cut cheesecloth into 3" wide strips - you determine the length.
Step 2:
Blow up a small balloon to the size you would like the head of your ghost to be. Set the balloon on a tall glass, vase or jar.
Step 3:
Allow your preschooler to dip each strip, one by one, into the fabric stiffener and lay across the balloon, with the balloon in the center of the strip.
Step 4:
Repeat until you've covered the balloon and made a full ghost.
Step 5:
Once the strips are dry, pop the balloon.
Step 6:
Have your preschooler paint eyes on your ghost using black paint.

How to Liven It Up
Display your ghosts over glasses of dry ice. Place a piece of dry ice in a glass, fill with hot water, then set your ghost over top of the glass. This makes a very cool, eerie effect for displaying your ghosts! Or, set a battery-operated strobe light (sold for use in pumpkins) under the ghosts - scary!More Halloween Projects
