This is such a fun craft for the kids to do at your friendly ghost playdate, it's simple and only takes a few supplies. Kids will love choosing different colors to use to paint their friendly ghosts and the stamping will keep them focused for quite some time on their masterpiece. The festive canvas makes for adorable Halloween home decor after the party is over.
