Materials: Construction paper, Glue, Mini Marshmallows, Chocolate Chips, Pencil
Step 1: Give each child a piece of construction paper and a pencil. Have each child draw an outline of their ghost or skull on the paper.
Step 2: Give each child glue. They can either outline their pencil drawing in glue then fill in the middle of the picture with glue or put a little dap of glue on each marshmallow as they place it on their drawing. Whichever works best with your group of children.
Step 3: Start placing the marshmallows to make the shape of the ghost or skull.

If you are making the ghost fill in the middle according to how you want to design the face.

Optional Steps
Step 5: Skull Teeth- To make the skull I took a mini marshmallow and squeezed the sides together to make them skinny. Then I glued each one closely together to make them look like teeth.
Step 6: Skull Accessories- To make a bow for your skull, draw and a bow on top of the skull and fill it in with chocolate chips. If you need help drawing a bow have an adult help you or look for one to trace on-line.
