Flying Ghosts

Children line up their little ghosts and take a deep breath before the race begins. One puff of air sends a ghost spinning across the table while another wobbles in circles before tipping over. No two races ever seem to turn out quite the same. That's what makes this flying ghost craft so much fun. Children quickly discover that making the ghosts is only the beginning. Before long they're creating new racers, inventing finish lines, and laughing as every gentle breath sends their friendly little ghosts off on another unpredictable adventure. Whether you're looking for an easy Halloween craft, a simple boredom buster, or a playful activity that gets children creating, laughing, and moving, these Flying Ghosts prove that some of the best toys are the ones children make themselves.

Ghost Bombs
