Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Draw the Ghost
-
Take a piece of white paper or tissue.
-
Draw a ghost shape with a thick black marker.
-
Give the ghost two big black eyes, a small mouth, and two little hands.
2. Add the Cheeks
-
Use a pink marker to draw small pink lines under the eyes. These are the ghost’s cute cheeks.
3. Cut the Paper
-
Cut out the ghost shape with your scissors.
-
Place the ghost on another piece of white paper. Cut around it so you have a matching back piece. Now you have a front and a back.
4. Cover with Tape
-
Lay the front piece down. Cover the whole ghost with clear tape. This makes the paper shiny and strong.
-
Do the same for the back piece.
5. Tape the Edges
-
Put the front piece on top of the back piece.
-
Tape the edges together. Leave a small opening at the bottom. Do not tape the bottom shut yet!
6. Stuff the Ghost
-
Take your cotton or soft stuffing.
-
Push the cotton through the hole at the bottom. Fill the ghost until it is puffy and soft.
7. Seal the Squishy
-
Use more clear tape to close the hole at the bottom.
-
Make sure there are no gaps where the cotton can fall out.
8. Play with your Squishy
-
Your ghost squishy is finished! You can now squeeze it and watch it pop back up.
