Let’s dive right in.

Ghost Pencil Eraser Stamp Art

Halloween is one of my children’s favorite holidays, of course after their birthdays and Christmas.

Since a lot of autumn days are miserable and cold in Germany we love to do fun craft projects on rainy afternoons.

Mostly they are either educational, season, or holiday-related. Since I have three kids in the house at the age of 2,4 and 7 they also must be toddlers which is still interesting for big kids.

Wait, we have more Halloween activities. Go check out our No Carve Pumpkin Decorating Ideas, Free Printable Thanksgiving Scavenger Hunt, or great Halloween Party Ideas.

As long as your child doesn’t try to take the pencil in his mouth you are good to go for this easy ghost craft. Any liquid colors can be used or even an ink pad will work.

If you are worried about little toddlers use eatable colors or make your own finger paint. Nevertheless, please supervise younger children during this activity since the erasers can be a choking hazard.

But let’s get started now and see what we will need for our DIY Halloween pencil eraser stamping art project.

Pencil Eraser Stamping Materials

• pencil with a flat eraser
• free printable pencil Halloween drawing templates (found below)
• paint
• paper plate
• marker (optional)

Pencil Stamping Instructions

These step-by-step instructions are here to help you visualize how to make this fun Halloween ghost activity.

Please scroll down to simply print out the instructions!

Step 1: Plan your project

What do you like to create? Will you do freestyle, draw your own object outlines, or get a free printable?

Set up your mind and prepare your materials in step 2 accordingly.

Step 2: Set up your eraser stamp idea materials

After choosing your design it’s time to prepare your Halloween project.
Either print your free template, draw something with a pencil yourself, or let your kids do it when they are old enough.

Then place your liquid colors on a paper plate for your children. We used darker colors such as orange, green, and purple to match our Halloween theme.

Step 3: Let’s have fun

The next step is the stamping process. Use the flat eraser side of your pencil as a stamp.

Dip it in your liquid color and stamp it away. We started by going around the outlines and moved our way slowly to the edge of the paper.

Step 4: Draw faces (optional)

Use a black marker to add faces to your ghosts and sign your art project like a real artist.
Don’t forget to add the date in case you like to keep it as a memory in your arts and crafts folder.
