Make a Haunted House

What You Need:

• Blue, yellow and black construction paper
• Scissors
• Black marker
• Pencil
• Glue stick

What You Do:

1. Stack a sheet of yellow construction paper on top of a sheet of black construction paper.
2. Draw the outline of your haunted house on the yellow paper using a pencil. Try to make it fill most of the paper.
3. Keeping the yellow paper on top of the black paper, cut out the outline of your haunted house. You should now have a yellow haunted house and a black haunted house.
4. Set aside your yellow house. Using a pencil, draw windows and doors on your black haunted house.
5. Cut open the windows and doors. Make sure to leave them hinged on the house so they can open. (In other words, cut open three out of four sides of every door and window.)
6. Gently fold back your cuts to create a "hinge" for each door and window.
7. Carefully glue your black haunted house on top of the yellow haunted house. Make sure the doors and window are not glued shut.
8. Use a black marker to draw the ghouls, goblins and creatures lurking behind each door and window. The Halloween monsters should be drawn on the yellow paper (the "inside" of the house) instead of the black paper.
9. Glue your haunted house onto the blue paper.
10. Cut a moon from scraps of the yellow paper and glue it to the blue paper.
