Craft: Ghost Necklace
Children drew a face onto a cardstock ghost before stringing it onto curling ribbon with pony beads to make into a necklace.
Literacy Extensions:
- Halloween is always a good time to talk about stranger danger. Remind your children that they should only talk to strangers when you are around. Check out some of the books and videos available at the library about this topic.
- Do some counting practice with candy. Count the number of candies that are different colors, different types, different shapes, etc.
Notes:
I found several years ago that curling ribbon works great for making necklaces - especially when stringing on pony beads. The ribbon is stiffer than yarn and does not fray at the ends which makes it easier for kids to string the beads on. It is also just thick enough that the beads will not move once they are put on the ribbon.
