Toilet Paper Roll Halloween Crafts
I love toilet paper roll crafts. Weird, I know. But the fact that the rolls are plentiful and they’re a great way to teach kids about recycled crafts is so much better than spending a ton of money on new supplies.
Since most seasonal and holiday crafts (besides Christmas ornaments) usually see the trash bin after the holiday has passed, using materials that you already have on hand makes so much more sense to me.
Halloween is no exception, so adorable toilet paper roll Halloween crafts like this ghost craft is perfect for little ones to make.
How to Make a Toilet Paper Roll Ghost Craft
When making this craft, all you need are a few simple supplies.
Gather up a clean toilet paper roll (or cut a paper towel tube into thirds), a sheet of white construction paper, some glue, scissors, a pencil, and a black marker.
Cut the paper to size, wrap it around the tube, and glue it on. Draw on any ghoulish or friendly ghost face that you want and you have an instant ghost for Halloween.
Tip: Let kids go wild with their ghosts’ faces. There’s no right or wrong and you’ll find that each ghost will have its own unique personality in the end. Celebrate your kids’ creativity!

Ghost Craft: An Easy Toilet Paper Roll Halloween Craft
Celebrate Halloween with this easy preschool ghost craft using toilet paper rolls!
Materials
- Empty, clean toilet paper roll
- White construction paper
- Black marker
- Glue
- Scissors
- Ruler

Instructions
- Measure out the length of the toilet paper roll and cut a corresponding strip of white paper. I like to place the roll's end along the edge of the paper when it's hed lengthwise and draw a line to mark the top. I do this a couple of times along the length of the paper. Then I use the ruler to connect the lines and cut out the paper.
- Glue the white construction paper strip to the tube.
- Use a black marker to draw on a scary or friendly ghost face.
Notes
Place a battery-operated tealight candle inside to make your ghost glow!
