Turn your black cardstock paper over so the traced ghost is face down.

Pour white paint onto your paper plate.

Its ok for some of the black to show through.

Four image collage showing printed out ghost template, adult tracing the template onto a black cardstock paper with a white pencil and adult dabbing sponge into white paint on a paper plate.

Its supposed to look that way to give it more of a translucent ghost appearance.

Continue dabbing into the white paint and then onto your black cardstock paper until it is covered.

Set it aside to dry completely.

We found it helpful to draw the shapes with our white colored pencil and then cut them out.

Your easy peasy ghost craft is ready to hang up for Halloween at home or school.

I love incorporating skills into our crafts that help my preschooler prepare for Kindergarten.

In this particular craft, cutting out the eyes and mouth shapes was excellent scissor practice.
