A Halloween Prank for Kids: I See A Real Ghost
And it's a baby
ADDED October 23, 2009
Today we have a fun Halloween prank that is sure to get your kids talking. We don't really like to "trick" kids -- here at TIF, we think tricks and pranks are too often mean -- but for this, we will make an exception. The trick part is mostly fun and not scary.
First, you need to make a ghost out of a napkin. You'll need one paper napkin, a small piece of yarn or thread and a magic marker.
This trick requires a rather diminuitive ghost, not a big one. So tear the napkin into quarters, four roughly square shapes. Roll one of the napkin pieces into a ball and place it in the center of another one. Wrap this second one around the ball, twisting to form a head for the ghost. Some yarn under the "head," add a face with the magic done, and you are done. It's very easy, and you have created a standard-issue napkin ghost. (Well, a standard-issue baby napkin ghost.)
Your ghost should be about this big for the trick to work.
Once you have your mini-ghost made, it is time for the trick to start. Grab a few inches of thread and tie one end around the baby ghost's head. Tie the other end to your kid's toothbrush, fork, or anything that your kids pick up. When the mini-ghost is attached, hide it so it is out of view. When your kid picks up the fork or toothbrush, everyone will be astounded and delighted by the sudden appearance of the floating baby ghost! A hilarious and spooky trick all in one!
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is our kind of Halloween prank! We hope you all enjoy it.
