Bat staircase
Supplies: black construction paper, pencil, scissors, tape.
Make a stencil first – visit firstpalette.com/printable/bats.html for a printable version. Trace the outline of a bat onto the construction paper with the pencil and cut out along the lines, cut as many as you want. Tape on the staircase walls or in a hallway. You can add depth by cutting out bats of different sizes.
Hanging ghosts
Supplies: white medium size garbage bags, rubber bands, old newspaper, string or yarn, black tape (optional).
Ball up the newspaper and stuff into the ends of the bags to make ghost heads. Loop the rubber bands around the head to give the body some shape. Use the black tape to make eyes and a mouth if desired. Hang from trees or lampposts using the string or yarn.
