Cardboard Box
Box Lid
Heavy String or Wire
Markers or Paints
Scary Stickers
Fake Spider Webbing
Other Scary Stuff
Instructions:
Design the box as the house.
Draw windows, doors and place scary stuff all over.
The box is placed around middle of the child and the strings hold it up (over shoulders). The box lid is the roof, and placed over the child's head, tied under the chin. My son insisted on being a haunted house last year, and it worked out beautifully, with very little talent on my part.
