Craft Kit Tutorial and Middle Grade Book Club- Chapter 5!

 

To make this week's craft for older kids (can be picked up at the drive through or in the children's dept. while supplies last!), follow this tutorial!

1. Fold coffee filter in half, and then in half again.

2. Using markers color the coffee filter. Don't be afraid to experiment with colors and color quite thickly (this will result in spookier colors!)

3. Place coffee filter on a paper and spray or sprinkle with water.

  

4. Press paper towel onto coffee filter to blot it dry.

5. Let coffee filter dry completely.

6. Trace coffee filter on black paper.

7. Cut out a circle that is SMALLER than the one you drew as a guide. I did cut a full circle because I wanted 'ground' for my haunted house to sit on. 

 

8. Glue coffee filter to paper.

 

9. Using a Sharpie or other black marker, draw and fill in your haunted house. If you want windows to show make sure you don't fill in the whole house!

10. Add other creepy elements like bats or gravestones!



Now that you're in a spooky mood, here's chapter 5 of Ghost Squad by Claribel A. Ortega!
