BOO!
Here is a super simple craft for my 2 1/2 year old nursery school class!
I found plaster of paris on a cloth roll!
Let's make a ghost!
I got a small round juice bottle as a "dress form" held steady by inverting it into an empty container
measured two strips cover the upside down bottle end. The I moistened the strips in a bowl of water
and draped the strips over the bottle end. Don't forget the newspaper - this was messy! The two strips were longer than the bottle, but this ended up making it stand up on it's own when it dried.
Once it was dried almost completely, I used a long needle with some red quilting thread (it's thicker and stronger than regular thread) I made a hanging loop through the "head". 
Add a ghostly face with a black sharpie - and voila! A ghost!
It dries a soft stiff, meaning I don't think anything will snap off if the kids hit it into a wall while making the ghost fly. Stiff enough for it to stand on it's own if not hung up at home.
A perfect ghost!
