3-D Cardboard Haunted Houses

I found this cute 3-D cardboard haunted house idea from Studio Rosie Creations. Studio Rosie has an Etsy shop to buy the digital template for the house for merely $2. But I helped my Nanny Kids cut out their own houses from cardboard found in their recycling bin to make their own haunted houses. I cut out circular moons for them to decorate as well to add to their houses as well.

You Will Need:

Studio Rosie Template or Your Own House Shapes
Cardboard
Scissors 
Tempura Paint
Paint Brushes
Sharpie Paint Pens
Chalk
and Pastels

What to Do:

  1. Cut out house templates from flat cardboard. Cut the slits into the walls. Cut out a moon if you wish to attach to the roof and cut a slit in the moon too.
  2. Allow the children to paint the walls and the moon. Once dry, have them decorate the walls and moon for Halloween. 
  3. Slide the pieces together.
