The Ghost Prison
With simple white pebbles, a magical paint that glows in the dark, and a floating frame effect, children will love creating their own ghost prison! A creative and delightfully original activity for Halloween decoration that will surprise everyone.
It's child's play: paint the pebbles with the phosphorescent paint, draw scary or funny mouths, and add eyes to bring them to life. All that's left is to trap these adorable spirits in their transparent frame. When evening comes, turn off the light and... Boo! The ghosts light up!
Why do we love this activity?
- The magic of seeing your creation glow in the dark is a true joy for children.
- The floating frame creates the illusion that the ghosts are levitating.
- Each child can imagine their own characters by varying the shapes of the pebbles and the expressions on the faces.

Materials
To carry out this activity, you will need:
- a floating effect presentation frame
- white recycled plastic pebbles

- glass monster eyes
- alphabet stickers
- spider stickers
- a black marker
- a tube of strong white glue
Step 1
Paint 2 stones (one large and one small) with glow-in-the-dark paint.
For enhanced glow-in-the-dark effect, apply 2 to 3 layers of paint, allowing to dry for about 1 hour between layers.
Step 2
Glue glass monster eyes onto the stones to bring the ghosts to life.
Step 3
Draw the mouths of the ghosts using a black permanent marker.
Step 4
Open the presentation frame and place the 2 ghosts on the transparent film.
Note: position the opening of the frame facing up.
Step 5
Close the frame. The ghosts are now trapped and float within the transparent film.
Step 6
Customize the bottom of the frame with colored alphabet stickers.
Here we used the word "Halloween".
Step 7
Glue some spider stickers along the edge of the frame to complete the decoration.
Step 8
Turn off the lights to admire the little ghosts glowing in the dark thanks to the glow-in-the-dark paint.
