Paper Bag Ghost Town
Paper bags can be painted to look like a town. Use poster board and newspaper to fill the inside to make the bags stand up. The bottom of the bag will be the roof. Newspaper fills the inside and cut two poster boards to make the bags stand up. Then tape the bags to poster boarg to make your town. Use tree branches for trees, and vut out little leaves and use bottle caps for baskets. You can fill the baskets with orange beads for pumpkins or red beads for apples. Use white pipe cleaners covered with cotton balls for ghosts. A black marker will work for making a face. Black pipe cleaners can make a witch and use construction paper to make her a paper hat and cape and boots. Thread or yarn can make the hair for the witch. You can make a bat with a pipe cleaner too. Use black tissue paper and cut out bat wings and glue to the pipe cleaners and floral wire will make your bats fly. Now add a few stablemates in your city. How about the rearing guy as he sees a bat or ghost or a witch? Use your imagination and have fun.
