Materials:
*Orange construction paper.
(cut into circle shape beforehand)
*Yellow construction paper
(cut into various shapes like triangles, squares, rectangles beforehand)
*Glue stick
Procedure:
The procedure for this craft is very simple. Just let your toddler create whatever sort of faces they like using the yellow shapes you cut for them. They can glue on different shaped eyes, nose, and mouth to their jack-o-lantern. Then, you can use sticky tap to hang them on display.
- Lollipop Ghosts
Lollipop ghosts are very easy to make, and don't have many pieces that you need to prep ahead of time.
Materials:
*One bag of suckers, such as Dum-Dums or Blo-Pops.
*Square sheets of white fabric (about 5" x 5") You will need one square of fabric for each ghost you want to make.
*Thin rubber bands, white ribbon, or string.
*Black marker
Procedure:
Place a lollipop in the center of a white square of fabric, and pull the edges down so that it looks like the lollipop is the head of the ghost. Secure the white square by tying a bit of ribbon or string around the ghost's "neck," or use a thin rubber band (you may have to wrap it more than once.) I like the look of string the best, but rubber bands are probably easiest for toddlers.
Next, use the black marker to draw a face on your ghost. After you demonstrate one for your child, let them make as many of their own as they want. Once they get the hang of it they can easily complete many ghosts on their own.
