Glowing Ghost with a Paper Bag
With a simple paper bag, some markers, and a mini LED bulb, children can create beautiful glowing ghosts for Halloween. This craft activity is perfect for creating a mysterious Halloween decoration at home or in class. Just draw a ghost face on the bag and insert a small LED light inside to get an original and fun ghost lantern.
Why we love this activity?
- The white paper acts as a diffuser that softens the LED light for a striking spectral ambiance.
- Ultra economical and quick: with a paper bag and a few markers, children can create an original decoration in under 10 minutes.
- Endless customization: each child creates their own funny, mischievous, or scary ghost.
- A lightweight decoration that can easily be hung as a garland, on a wall, a window...
To facilitate the activity, we have prepared a printable sheet of ghost faces (click here) to help the children.
