Halloween Marshmallow Art

What You Need:

• Black construction paper
• Mini-marshmallows
• Frosting (Optional)
• Glue (Optional)

What You Do:

1. Ask your child what shape they think a ghost looks like. Set a bowl of marshmallows out next to the black paper.
2. With clean hands (if they're going to eat some marshmallows during the artistic process), spread out a handful of marshmallows on the black paper.
3. Encourage your child to move around the marshmallows into different lines. Can they create a curved line with the marshmallows? What about a zigzag, or an oval?
4. Have your child arrange the marshmallows into a ghost.
5. Stick the marshmallows in place with glue or frosting!

Although it will surely be temping, remember that this Halloween artwork isn't for eating. But you can feast on it with your eyes after displaying it on the fridge or the wall!
