Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
Make your tree:
Draw and cut out a spooky tree on black construction paper. At the base of the tree, fold back a tab and glue the tab / tree onto the cardboard or black chalkboard. If needed, cut out a tall, rectangular piece of construction paper to prop up your spooky tree. Glue one end of the tall rectangular piece onto the back of the tree, and the other end onto the black chalkboard.
Step 2
Add tombstones:
Cut tombstones out of black construction paper, and some pieces of grass out of the green construction paper. Just like step 1, fold back tabs to glue your tombstones and grass to your graveyard.
Step 3
Create ghosts, ghouls, or goblins:
Cut out ghosts from the white tissue paper. Using the black pen, draw faces onto the ghosts. Glue the bottom edge of the ghost to the back of the tombstones. My daughter wants to create witches that dance for her next Halloween scene!
Final result!
Make them boogie:
It's time to make the ghosts boogie. Inflate the balloon and rub it with a piece of wool felt. Then hold the balloon above your graveyard scene and move it back and forth. The static electricity will make the tissue paper ghosts rise and dance!
