Today my son and I were coloring, cutting, and creating cards for Mom. In the middle of the madness of spilling crayons and flying paper scraps, I had the idea to make a paper doll chain of ghosts.
How to make two chains of three ghosts from a half of sheet of paper:

Start with a half sheet of paper (5.5" x 8.5"). |

Fold in thirds. |

Trim off the top of the rectangle to make the top of your ghosts. Rotate the paper and do the same to the bottom. |

Cut the oval shape in half. |

Trim the bottom of the ghost shape to make the bottom of your ghosts. |
![]() |
Draw ghost faces. |

My son said, "I really like this activity!" |

The ghost on the right with the purple hair he called the "grandma ghost." |

I wish my orange marker worked better. This was an attempt to show coloring mixing (red + yellow = orange) like in Three Ghost Friends: Learn About Colors. |
