Paper ghost

Art

• The child learned about shapes and how to cut out a ghost shape from a piece of paper.
• They explored different ways to decorate the ghost using markers, crayons, or colored pencils.
• The activity allowed them to practice fine motor skills by folding and cutting the paper.
• They learned about symmetry by folding the paper in half to create a symmetrical ghost shape.

For continued development, encourage the child to create a whole ghost family using different sizes and colors of paper. They can also experiment with different textures, such as using tissue paper for a translucent ghost or adding fabric scraps for a ghost with a unique look.
