Paper Pencil Ghost

 

This is an absolutely adorable craft, and it’s a game too! I love playing with this thing, and it is super easy to make. If you are anxious to find out how it is a game as well as a craft, I won’t keep you waiting; let’s get started!

Supplies:

Paper (I used tracing paper, but any paper works)

Pens, pencils, etc (something to draw the face with)

A pencil

Marker (if you want to color the top of the ghost like I did)

T.P. Roll

Rubber band

Scissors

A ruler (or you can just eye-ball it)

Directions:

1. Take your paper and cut it into a square it has to be bigger than 4in by 4in (the bigger the paper square the bigger your ghost!

2. Plop it onto a toilet paper roll and secure it with a rubber band

3. Color the top with marker if you like (this will make it a rainbow ghost!)

4.  Poke a hole in the middle of it with a pencil

5.  Now pop the paper off of the T.P. Roll

6. Draw a face, it can be spooky, cute, shocked, whatever!

7. And you’re done! Look down below and see how it can be used as a game

Paper Pencil Ghost Game:

For this game you will need your ghost, a pencil, and people to play the game with (this can also be played solo)

Solo Play:

Grab your ghost and your pencil. Put the bottom of your pencil through the hole in the ghost’s top. Now bob your pencil up and down super fast for as long as you can before it shoots off of the pencil!

Multi-Play:

Grab some people, and make sure they all have ghosts and pencils. Poke the pencil through the hole at the top of the ghost. Now, when everyone is ready, bob the pencil up and down over and over as fast as possible without the ghost flying off of the pencil! The last one with their ghost still on the pencil wins!
