Halloween Busy Bag Idea for Kids
I found some adorable ghost glass stones at Michaels a week or two ago so they were perfect for this busy bag. However, you could easily substitute white or clear glass stones. Just draw some faces on using permanent marker. Or you could try using orange ones and make some Jack-o-Lanterns using a permanent marker.
To make the haunted house cards, you'll need some black construction paper and a white crayon. I cut the black construction paper into quarters. Then using a white crayon, I drew houses on the black paper. I tried to make them look imperfect and funky. Then each house was given a house number from 1-10.
The activity itself is pretty self-explanatory. Count the number of ghosts needed to haunt each house. And since counting was involved, J was happy to try out the busy bag for me yesterday.
As you can see, he enjoyed lining the ghosts up just perfectly.
However, ten houses wasn't enough to satisfy him. Once J finished house #10, he started to improvise a bit. Here's house #13 with its 13 ghosts.
Don't you love these little ghost stones?! I think they are so cute!
