Looking for a fun Halloween craft that doubles as rad door decor? Well, have I got just the thing for you! Plus, an afternoon of not too spooky craft fun is the perfect way to procrastinate making that pesky Halloween costume. Tracing, paper ripping, glues sticks, OH MY! I designed this project with preschooler-favorites in mind, although I must admit I had just as much fun ripping and gluing as Jude did.
Jude is at that age where he is both scared and fascinated with the darker side of Halloween. We decided a life-sized mummy guarding the door was just what we needed to keep the zombies, spooks, and other undesirables at a safe distance. That's right, we've got a mummy bouncer.
Want to make your own?
You'll need:
- 4'-5' Black Butcher Paper
- white crayon, pen, or chalk
- white paper
- glue sticks
- large googly eyes
- scissors
Step One
Have your little one lay on the butcher paper.
Step Two
Trace an outline of your kid as a guide for the shape of your mummy.
Step Three
Rip white paper into strips, lots of strips. Lay them out on your mummy.
Step Four
Get glue crazy. First glue on the eyes. Then attach the strips. The less perfect the better. (Don't worry this project is totally mess free *insert sarcasm here*)
Step Five
Cut out your mummy.
Step Six
Hang or tape him to the door and enjoy your spooktacular display!
Happy (Halloween) Crafting!
