Halloween Crafts for Toddlers, Preschoolers, and Kindergarten

Start by cutting the potato in half and using a pencil to draw or outline a ghost on one half of the potato and write the word Boo on the other half. This step is optional, but I found it a lot easier to have a guideline before cutting it out.

Cut out the ghost and dig out 2 eyes and a mouth. Next, cut out the word Boo and dig out 2 holes in the letter B and the O’s. This step should be done beforehand by an adult.

Now your child can take their paintbrush and paint white paint all over the ghost and stamp it down on the paper, then lift up.

If you’d like, you can add a dot of color to the eyes and mouth. Repeat the same process with the word Boo. Wipe off the paint with a paper towel if there is too much paint between stamping or between each color.
