Make your own Paper Plate Ghost, a great activity for your family to enjoy. Make them and then hang them up for Halloween celebrations.

Thanks to Tehia, from Nebraska, who sent in this great paper plate ghost idea. Let’s take a look at it…

What did you do?

It is super easy to make and assemble. You will need a paper plate, black construction paper, toilet paper, scissors and a glue stick.

You can basically design your own ghost face by making circles for the eyes and mouth. Cut those out and glue into paper plate. Roll out 3-5 different length strands of toilet paper and glue the bottom of plate (for the ghost tail).

We enjoyed this as it is hands-on, and you can have the creativity to make it your own. Plus, it’s easy for young toddlers to help with.

Try to get creative and think of activities outside the box but it’s also okay to just relax and watch a movie.
