Ghost Tree ~

I'm having a good time preparing for the upcoming 4th grade Fall/Halloween Party.  

As much as I talk about "weaning" from these school responsibilities, 

I have to admit the party planning is kind of fun. 

This is a treat for the kids in the classroom and something my daughter could help make.

You start out with a Tootsie Pop. 

 

Wrap the Tootsie Pop with a paper towel, 

(we used the paper towels that pull apart into half sizes).

 Tie a yarn ribbon around the ghosts neck and add eyes/nose with a black Sharpie.

I spray painted this terra cotta pot with black chalkboard paint and added 

the "Trick or Treat" with chalk, what else?

This styrofoam "tree" worked great to poke the Tootsie Pops into.

I carefully tucked the ghosts into the pot and kept adding to the top of the tree.

 

The tree is full ~ 30 in all.

I added a pop of color with an orange Halloween ribbon.

Done!

It was a great craft that I could do with my 9yo daughter.  

She colored the ghosts faces and helped tie the ribbons.

Hope the kids will enjoy their boo-tiful treat!
