Easy Halloween Craft?

[Toiny]

I'm leading Dane's kindy (preschool) class in a Halloween craft. Does anyone have an easy, fun one? With easily obtained supplies?

We don't have access to a ton of Halloween-specific supplies here.

Thanks!

if you want to you could grab the Hybrid Jacks from my ftp and make some cards or garlands ...

I just had a look at some other things I did with Su and their friends when they were younger:

Marshmallow Ghosts Lollies


Jack-o-lantern Jars

Button Spiders (sorry, they look a little squashed in the pic, but I couldn't find another one) and finger cookies

I've got 21 kids... I think the jars would be great, but not sure where I'd get 21 within my budget. The ghosts might work!

ask the kids to bring them from home - perfectly acceptable for Kindergarten activities here - empty pickle or Rotkohl jars work well

Do I have enough time before Wednesday? If I send the note with Dane on Monday? I really like the painting a jar idea.

Oh, I just remembered something else... don't think I have a pic... you take a little ball (table tennis ball or a wad of newspaper), put it in the middle of a paper hankie, fold up the hankie and tie it. Turn the whole thing around and paint a face on your little ghost. You can either put them on a stick or attach a string and use them as hangers.

Or make little ghosts out of "Schokoküsse", let me see, I should have a pic of those...

.. let's see: they get the note on Monday. They have to buy the pickles, fill them in another container and clean the jar. That should be totally doable until Wednesday...

Thanks Min! We are having rotkol tonight so I have a jar for demonstration.
