#4 Tic-tac-toe your ghosts!

Why not give the walk-up to your house a makeover and get on the good side of all the kids in the neighborhood by also adding in a little spooky game? It’s going to be easy to make, and you can reuse it every Halloween until the end of time! It is also a fun craft to do with the young kids in your family, and it keeps being interactive from the inception to when it is displayed in your yard.

Materials:

  • stones
  • paint
  • paintbrush
  • yarn or sticks

Instructions:

Make use of the acrylic paint you have around the house to help you decide what you will draw on your stones, and then sketch out the design. You don’t have to use the typical Halloween colors, but you should make sure they are Halloween symbols that you paint on.

After they are dry, you can map out the shape of the tic-tac-toe game with sticks or yarn in your backyard, and your interactive decoration is ready for some action!
