The Ghost Festival, also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated by Chinese in many countries. According to the Chinese Calendar, the Hungry Ghost Festival falls on the 15th night of the seventh lunar month. It is believed, ghosts and spirits, including those of the deceased ancestors, come out from the lower realm on this day.

Keeping up with the ghostly season, we did a Hungry Ghost craft today.

I cut the edges of a paper plate so that it has sharp teeth all over

Cut a construction paper and paste the paper plate teeth on it.

Add eyes and the ghost is ready! I wanted to add splashes of red paint to make the ghost a very gory one but decided against it as I don’t wanna cause nightmares to the kids!

This Halloween, let’s make it a spooky event for the little Trick or Treaters.. ;P

Instead of the ordinary candies, why not spook up your lollipop?

First, you'll need some lollipops.

Next, wrap the lolli with a tissue paper.

Secure it with white thread.

Draw eyes and mouth, your spooky Halloween lollipop is ready! I don't think my boy fancies it though..

Introducing Jack
Alright, so Halloween is a couple of months away. But It’s never too early to start planning right? Instead of using the big and bulky pumpkin year in year out and throwing them away after a party, why not try using a smaller version? An orange. Kids will love them, adults will find them delicious!

Here's a fresh orange

Draw the outline of Jack
