Egg Carton Ghost Craft

Supplies:

• Empty and clean egg carton
• Scissors
• Black permanent marker 

Directions:

Cut around the egg carton and cut off the excess portion of the egg carton that is not needed. You’ll want to cut around the cups to create individual cups. Discard the excess. 

Turn the cup over so that the bottom of the cup is facing up. Use a black permanent marker to draw a ghost face on each individual cup. Get creative and try to draw different faces on each cup.
