Paint ghostly feet to decorate the classroom walls. Before beginning spread a large piece of plastic or an old sheet down to protect the floor as this project can be messy. Pour white washable paint in a large flat container and place it on the floor. Allow the children to come up one at a time to place their foot in the paint and make a footprint on a piece of black construction paper. As each student has a turn, give them a disposable wipe to remove the paint from their feet. Once the footprints are dr, draw a scary or silly face on the heel with a black marker.
Make a spider mask for the children to use during the class Halloween party. Provide each child with a large paper plate, black washable paint and a paint brush and ask them to paint the plate black. Once dry, use a hole punch to make two holes on each side of the paper plate. Cut four long strips from a black garbage bag for each student and show them how to lace the pieces through each hole. Show the students how to glue a craft stick on the back to complete the mask.
Design a ghostly Halloween necklace. Have the children squirt white school glue in the shape of a spooky ghost on a piece of 12 by 12 inch wax paper. Instruct the students to sprinkle glitter on the glue before adding googly eyes to the ghostly creation. Place a toothpick in the top to make a hole and allow to dry. Remove the toothpick and peel the design from the wax paper. Place a piece of black string in the hole to create a Halloween necklace.
Provide the students with safety scissors to cut pie shapes out of orange construction paper. Set out small paper cups filled with pumpkin pie spice for each child. Have the children brush glue on the pie shape using a cotton swab before sprinkling pumpkin pie spice over the glue to create yummy fragrant pumpkin pies.
Decorate trick or treat bags for a Halloween party by letting the children decorate brown paper lunch bags with washable markers, crayons, Halloween stickers, glue and store-bought cut-outs of pumpkins, ghosts, bats and scary black cats.
