When October hits, I’m team “Bring out all the Halloween activities!” Unsurprisingly, my kids are even more enthusiastic about Halloween activities and Halloween crafts for kids. I always make sure to include some in their Boo Basket to do later.

Halloween Ghost Craft for Toddlers (and Preschoolers)

One thing I’ve found, it can be hard to find great preschooler Halloween crafts and toddler Halloween crafts that little hands can do. We shared our Q-tip skeleton craft last year, and so many families loved it! So this year, I was determined to create another one that little kids and big kids alike could enjoy.

Introducing…the Cotton Ball Ghost Craft!

Hello, non-spooky Halloween crafts that kiddos adore, and are easy on mom, too! We have the ghost shape ready for you as a free printable template. Yay for easy crafts!

It’s also known as a puffy ghost craft. You can call this simple craft whatever you like! Either way, it’s an easy Halloween craft preschoolers love, toddlers can do, and younger elementary kids enjoy too!

Place about 20 cotton balls out ready to use.
Generously spread glue throughout the ghost body.
Glue the cotton balls in any pattern/density you'd like to create a ghost craft kids will love. But if you want it to line up perfectly, I'd encourage them to glue cotton balls starting at the top of the ghost.
Let it dry and enjoy your easy cotton ball ghost craft!
OPTIONAL: Cut out some black eyes from black paper/black cardstock or use googly eyes, and glue eyes on top of the cotton balls.
OPTIONAL: You may want to cut out the ghost outline and use a string/yarn to hang it and display it.

Notes

Feel free to get creative with other materials or colors. We've found it's even more of a fun craft when kids get to make their own ghost with some bonus options!
