Thus starts the long line of cool Homeschool Halloween activities I’m thinking about doing. I’ve got a whole slew of books to work through, and today’s book is We’re Going on a Ghost Hunt.
{Ticia edit: I’ve updated this post to make pictures a bit clearer, but I’ve lost the originals, so the pictures are somewhat small, sorry about that, also I’ve added in amazon affiliate links marked with an *}

Way too cute for words.
My boys have been after me forever to let them paint a “Big painting Mommy, one that takes up the whole room.” Well, we’d finally bought a new roll of paper for their easels, and it wasn’t installed yet, so we did just that.

Going on a Ghost Hunt Craft
First, to get them thinking about their pictures before they started in painting I had them sketch out a little bit of what they wanted.
They decided they wanted a haunted house, a ghost, and a few other things. Oh, and a road.
Then they started painting.
And painting.
I hung their masterpiece up on the wall. You wouldn’t believe how proud they were. This also handily hides the marks from years of kids running their hands across the wall, right at that height.
My plan is to add some further creations to this.
This is probably my favorite part. Here’s Batman’s description, “This is a haunted house, that’s the ghosts looking out the windows. The goblins put legs on it, and a head so it looks like a beetle. Those are the antennae.” Then he gestured to show me them. I have no idea where he learned about goblins, but it amused me.
Of course Iron Man has to be on hand to protect the trick-or-treaters from any potential danger.
And his best friend Blue Arrow is also there to help out. I think Blue Arrow also has a gun right here. Maybe.
