Every Halloween I always buy sweets for
the children out trick or treating. I normally buy a multi pack of
mini sweets or chocolate bars but they always look boring so this
year I decided to make my trick or treat sweats a little more
ghostly.
This didn't take me long to do as it is
quite a simple idea but it is a fabulous idea to do with the children
to keep them entertained (because we all know that about now we are
starting to wish we could send them all back to school tomorrow!).
All you will need is some white card
(paper will also work), a pair of scissors, a colouring pen (I have
used black but there is no reason why you cant mix it up a bit and
use lots of colours), glue and your chosen Halloween treats.
First thing to do is to draw a ghost
onto a piece of the card. If you are like me and have absolutely
appalling drawing stills, you can draw around a ghost shaped cookie
cutter or trace a picture from a book (or better yet just get the
kids to draw them, that way you can blame them if they are unusual
looking ghosts!). Your ghost needs to be bigger then your chosen
sweet, I used a mini packet of Haribo sweets and made a ghost using
of ½ an A4 sheet of card.
Next you cut out the ghosts, they don't
have to be perfect as all ghosts seem to be drawn differently anyway!
Now you need to draw a face onto your ghost. This can be as scary or
as friendly as you like as I said previously this can also be any
colour you like and in as much detail as you like.
When your ghost is finished stick a
tiny bit of glue onto the stomach of your ghost and then stick the
treat onto him. If your ghost is a master piece or you have added
colour or detail to the front, there is no reason why the treat can't
be stuck to the back. Once they are dry they are ready for trick or
treaters.
Although I have made ghosts, if you use
orange paper you can make pumpkins or use black paper to make a
haunted house, witch or black cat or if you have some extra time, why
not make a variety of shapes.
