How-To Art-Making Steps

  1. Cover the floor/workspace with flattened cardboard or a painter’s tarp to protect the surface. Open one side of the box and place it vertically on the floor.
  2. Draw a door, windows and ghoulish ghosts or other spooky Halloween creatures on the front, back and sides of the haunted house box. Your child can use the markers to draw these features.
  3. Cut out the door and windows. Cut a child-sized door or flap into the back of the box. You may need to help your child with this step, depending on the thickness of the board and your child’s age.
