Peekaboo Ghost Craft

This is a great take home craft from the class party or Halloween block party. Don't forget to ask for these items to be donated from your class parents instead of too much food that kiddos won't be able to finish and ends up in the teachers' lounge. You will need:

• black paper cups (1 per guest)
• chopsticks (1 per guest)
• small Styrofoam balls smaller than the opening of the cup (1 per guest)
• two 6 inch squares of cheesecloth, gauze or white tissue paper per guest
• black fabric marker, Sharpie or black paper ovals for eyes

1. Poke a hole through the bottom of the black paper cup with a chopstick (I usually get chopsticks at Cost Plus/World Market using a monthly coupon. Leftovers from take out work great too!).
2. Slide the chopstick up into the cup.
3. Plant a small Styrofoam ball on top of the chopstick
4. Glue two 6 inch squares of cheesecloth, gauze or white tissue paper onto the Styrofoam ball.
5. Using the fabric marker or Sharpie, draw eyes. Or if you decided to use black paper ovals glue them on.
6. Let glue dry for a bit.
7. Slide the stick up and down to play peekaboo.

There you have it! Looks like a lot of work, but the kiddos will finish in no time. I assure you will hear lots of "boo-ing".
