Easy activity for a toddler. Perfect for a preschool or kindergarten activity too.
DESCRIPTION
Cute as a Halloween treat or even a treat made by your child for the classroom.
MATERIALS
Tootsie Roll Pops
2 Kleenex tissues or other brand (thicker tissues are easier to work with)
6 inch piece of white yarn
Pair of wiggly eyes or black marker
Bow (optional)
Elmer's Glue if using wiggly eyes
OTHER MATERIALS
Newspaper to work on
Art smock or old shirt
STEPS
- Lay two sheets of tissue on a flat surface.
- Place the lollipop in the center, candy side down.
- Place the lollipop with the tissues into the palm of your childs hand. Help your child bunch up the tissue around the lollipop.
- Using a piece of white yarn tie snugly around the base of the candy to form the head of your ghost.
- Glue on wiggly eyes or use the marker to make the eyes and mouth.
- Add a bow if desired.
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
I like the Tootsie Roll pops because it is larger and easier to work with although Dum Dum pops will work as well. I'd use one sheet of tissue for the smaller
lollipops.
Easiest way to make bow is to get 1/8 inch ribbon to tie with and 1/4 inch ribbon for the bow. Form bow with the 1/4 inch decorative ribbon and tie in the middle
with a double knot with a piece 1/8 inch ribbon about six inches long. Use the remainder of the ribbon to tie around the "neck" of the ghost.
EDUCATIONAL TIPS
Talk about the middle or center of the tissue when you explain where to place the lollipop.
