Mike made these little Kleenex ghosts with the kids way back in January, but they make the perfect Halloween craft for kids! They are super simple: take two Kleenex, roll one into a ball to make the ghost’s head, stick it inside the second Kleenex, and tie shut with a bit of Kleenex ripped off the edge of the second Kleenex (white yarn works, too). Add a face with a ball point pen, and enjoy!
The kids thought these ghosts were a lot of fun! We’ll be making more this Halloween, for sure!
Doesn’t Lily look tiny? What a difference nine months makes!
What are your favorite quick and easy Halloween crafts and activities for kids? My kids also love making a wall of pumpkins and they are enjoying our Halloween countdown chain! If you want a sweet adaptation of this activity, wrap the kleenex around a Tootsie roll pop instead and you get a cute Halloween party favor or a fun treat to hand out to trick or treaters!

I just found the perfect Halloween activity for our Halloween day in school. Thanks
I am sure the kids will enjoy making ghosts ;)
Hooray! I’m so glad you like this idea :)
This is such a cute idea. I’m going to put one of these together for R to give him a giggle tomorrow. As always, adorable photos. I think you could quite possibly have the cutest kids ever! So, so sweet.
Lily looks SO cute here! I also think that on the first two pictures Emma reminds me so much of Johnny… it never seemed so strong to me. I admire you, Mary Anne!
Isn’t it funny how sometimes they look so much alike but a lot of the time they seem completely different?
I admire you, Tara =)
Those are really cute! We also do them with a kleenex over a tootsie pop. We made some last night for little goody bags for R to hand out. I just found your blog through the After School linky. Not this post, but you know. I’m looking forward to reading more of your posts! Thank you for sharing.
What a great idea! I love it – and I love the pictures.
So cute! They’re adorable in their jammies!
Such cute pictures! I’m also amazed how much my kiddos change. We’ll be making those this week for sure. I love easy crafts. :)
What a fun time capsule post to see your kids as they were nine months ago. It would be fun to see a series of these with your kids lined up against the wall in their pyjamas like this as the months fly by. So cute!
That’s a great idea, thanks for the suggestion!
Tiny, but oh, so cute!
I know 9 months is a huge difference in kid time! That reminded me we should do those……
Cute! We like to make ghosts using kleenex over tootsie pops – they are fun favors!
