Ghosts in Room 14

Room 14 made some really spooky ghosts this week for Halloween. We made small structures first using balloons and toilet roll holders, then used plaster of Paris strips for the ghost itself. It was so messy but so much fun!

They’re pretty cool to make and if you like getting messy – it’s a great project!

You should definitely try them at home because they’re really easy. They’re great for spooking people at Halloween!
