These Felt Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin and Ghost Faces are fun for Halloween. You can create felt ghosts and pumpkins for your young child as a busy bag using my FREE PRINTABLES below, or you can let your older child create them on their own! Are you starting to see why felt is so cool? Aren't these little felt pumpkins and ghosts cute? (And it's easy to make . . . I promise). Here's the link to get the printables http://www.makinglifeblissful.com/2015/10/felt-jack-o-lantern-pumpkin-and-ghost.html
Aren't they cute? All it takes is a little felt and some scissors. Kids and remake the pumpkin and ghost faces over and over!!
Gather felt you already have around the house or go buy some at the craft store. Felt is very inexpensive. Often you can get it for .25 cents a sheet.
With pencil, trace objects in your home that have a pumpkin or ghost shape. Or you can freehand it. Or you can use the free printable patterns on my website and trace those.
Cut out different shapes for eyes, mouths, and eyebrows. Again, I have some printable patterns to help you with this on my website. Store in a zip top bag.
Kids can make the faces on a flannel board or simply on the carpet. I take mine to church, restaurants, or even the doctor's office so they can play while we wait. Keeps them busy!!!

Lisa, you're right. My grandson was visiting and we visited different places, when I asked him what was his favorite part, he said, "making fingerpuppets with you". Children are wonderful!
