Dry Ice
Water
Large Bucket or Container
If you are looking where to find dry ice, look under “Ice” in the Yellow Pages.
DO NOT HANDLE DRY ICE WITHOUT GLOVES!!
Place dry ice in the container, pour water over dry ice, use 2 to 3 times as much water as there is ice. There needs to be enough water to cover the dry ice.

Footprint Ghosts
1 sheet of black construction paper
Glow in the dark star stickers or white crayon
white tempera paint**
A pair of feet
1 child’s fat paintbrush
Paint the bottom of a child’s feet with white tempera paint (do not get it to thick or it will not be defined between the toes.) The heel is the head of the ghost and the toes are the bottom. Have the child step onto the black construction paper with their toes spread apart. Let dry. When dry, stick on glow in the dark star stickers or draw stars using a white crayon. The child can add fences, haunted houses, etc. Also, put wiggle eyes on the ghost or draw them on.
**Use washable paint for easier cleaning!
Easy Halloween Bag
1 small bottle fabric paint — black or dark green
2 felt squares
Glue gun
Glue gun sticks
Pair scissors
Place the 2 felt squares together and with the glue gun, glue the edges together leaving one edge opened, and press down on the 2 fabrics. Wait a few minutes for the glue to cool.
Fold the felts together and with a pair of scissors, cut a slit, long enough for the child to put hand through to hold like a shopping bag.
Let the child decorate the candy bag with halloween or harvest day decorations. This is good for all kinds of holidays, especially for birthday party make–your–own bags!
Sucker Ghost
Kleenex
Sucker
White yarn
Scissors
Black marker
Cut a small length of yarn. Center the Kleenex over the top of the sucker. Tie the yarn in a bow right under the sucker. Draw on eyes and mouth with black marker. Give as a party favor.
Q–Tip Skeleton
Black construction paper
Q–tips
White paper
Scissors
Glue
Using the Q–tips as bones you can arrange your skeleton body. Give your skeleton some arms, legs, ribs, etc. You can cut the Q–tips into smaller pieces to be used as smaller joints. Glue all the Q–tips on the black paper once you have it laid out like you like.
