Ghosts are the one Halloween creature that is never scary at three years old — they are round, white, and smiling, and they are mostly made of cotton balls. This set keeps them that way. Ten friendly ghost crafts, all starting from a printed template: handprints and cotton balls for the littlest makers, puppets and a card for story time, a garland and a windsock to hang up when the making is done. Print the pack, put on some googly eyes, and let the ghosts float.

Handprint and Cotton Ball Ghosts

Ages 3–5. All ten are scissor-light: handprint, cotton ball and paper cup ghosts need no cutting at all beyond the template outline. Every ghost is smiling — no scary designs in the set.

Ghost Puppets and Cards

The clothespin and paper bag puppets need an adult to help with clipping and gluing. The handprint card is ready for story time.

Ghost Garlands and Windsocks

The windsock and the garland are the best for 4–5s who can manage a string — hang them up when the making is done.

How to print (A4 and US Letter)

Print the PDF single-sided on A4 or US Letter, 100% scale. Cut along the dashed lines; colour first, then cut, then assemble. Cotton balls, googly eyes, a glue stick and safety scissors cover the rest; paper cups and paper bags are the only extra supplies. Each template is one page, so a classroom can print one craft per child or the whole pack per table.
