Plastic Bag Ghosts!
Reuse all those white plastic bags to make a cute and fun to play with halloween ghost. I did this craft with the Best Buddies students who loved seeing a common item used for a different purpose. The craft was a great hands on way to show that items normally thrown away can be reused in many different ways.
1. Lay the plastic bag flat and cut off the handles and down the sides. 2. Lay the bag flat again, unfolded at the middle, and cut apart. You will be left with 2 rectangles of plastic bag. 3. If there is any coloring or print on the bag, you can cut this part off to have an all white ghost. 4. Cut strips into the plastic squares, leaving 2-4 inches uncut at the top.
5. Inflate a white balloon and tape the uncut portion of the plastic bag around the balloon so that the strips are hanging down. 6. Draw a face on your balloon ghost and decorate for halloween.
Attach ghosts to a string and let kids run around trailing ghosts or throw ghosts up in the air and play a game to see who can keep their ghost flying for the longest!
