I guess I forgot to save the paper that goes along with this activity. I will have to get it for you later. Anyway, this is my project. I was trying it out before I had the kids do it. I will take pictures next week when we do it as a class. The kids are going to make a ghost and then write about the steps. We are working on transition words, so this is perfect for us. The kids saw my sample and have been asking all week if they will get to make one. They can't wait. Wish me luck.
If you want to make this, it is very easy. There are different ways to make it, but I tried to make it as easy as possible because my students are going to be making it. I used a two-liter bottle for the body and hot glued a foam ball on top to shape the head. Then I laid cheese cloth over the figure. You can add arms if you want with wire, but I didn't think that was a good idea with my students. Then I took starch and a sponge paint brush and painted the starch onto the cheese cloth. I let that dry overnight and then carefully pulled the cheese cloth off the base. Then I added googly eyes and clipped a paper clip through the top. I will be hanging these from the ceiling, but I wanted to get a picture for you before I did that. If you try it, let me know how it turns out!
