Boo! Who! Halloween Place Cards

Why

Put a new spin on your Halloween table decorations! Create ghostly place cards with Crayola Color Explosion Spinner™ art and your imagination!

Steps

1. Decorate enough papers with your Crayola Color Explosion Spinner™ for each guest at your Halloween party. Start by making a dot on the paper with a color-reveal marker. Then follow the directions on the package. Air-dry the papers.

2. Decide what shapes to make your ghoulish place cards. They could be ghosts, pumpkins, witches, or any shape you can imagine. Draw shapes on the back of the Spinner art with a Crayola Colored Pencil.

3. Use Crayola Scissors to cut out the shapes. With the Color Explosion™ color-reveal markers and Crayola Glitter Glue add details to your design on the front. Air-dry the cards.

4. Use Crayola Markers to personalize the backs with the names of each guest. Add a ghost place card to each seat at your Halloween table. Your guests can flip over the "Boo" to see who sits where! Happy haunting!
