3 Easy Ghost Crafts for Toddlers and Preschoolers
These cute and friendly ghost crafts are great Halloween projects for toddlers and preschoolers, as they’re easy and require just a couple of supplies each.
When I was a toddler, my very first Halloween costume was a ghost costume. My mother literally cut a couple of eye holes out of a white sheet and draped it over my head. Armed with a little plastic pumpkin bucket, I looked like a character straight out of a Charlie Brown Halloween special.
It was adorable; just like these little ghost crafts the 2 and 3 year olds made here in my daycare.
Although these ghost crafts are really simple, each one provides a creative art process and and/or chance to explore interesting materials.

This is my all-time favourite ghost crafts for toddlers. A few cotton balls and some buttons and glue are all that’s required for this activity.
Stretching the cotton balls is great for developing fine-motor skills, and the cotton and the smooth buttons add a sensory element to this craft.

These little ghosts started out with a fun print-making activity. Sponges and corks add a sensory element to the activity, and little ones to develop fine-motor skills, hand muscles and hand-eye co-ordination.
