Got a pencil and paint? Then you must have your kids try to make this ghost stamp craft! It's a fun activity to do for Halloween and is not very hard to make. You can also use any color combination as you wish to make your little ghosts unique!
Materials Needed:
- Purple and black paint
- Pencil with a flat eraser
- Printable ghost sheet (or make your own cutouts)
- Black marker
- Painters tape
Start by printing out the free ghost coloring page and cut them out. Choose 3 of them and tape them to the paper using painters tape so they won't tear when you take them off. Squirt a glob of purple and black paint on a plate and let the kids dip their pencil erasers in it. Tell them to first go around the outline of the ghosts making sure to cover them completely. To get the faded look just have them dot the eraser until the paint disappears.
After they are done stamping, carefully pull off the white ghosts and draw their faces with the black marker! Boo!
What a fun way to explore negative space! Adding this to my bag of tricks! :)
