Heebie Jeebie Haunted House

Store your treats and treasures in this box that doubles as a Halloween decoration.

1. With Crayola® Scissors, cut black construction paper to fit around a recycled box. Leave an opening in the top of the box so treats and treasures can be stored inside. Cut a door flap in the paper and glue a second piece of paper behind it with Crayola School Glue. Attach the paper to the box. Dry.

2. Add haunted house details with Crayola Metallic Colored Pencils. Draw lopsided windows. Cut tattered shutters from small scraps of paper. Glue them on crooked to make them look like they are broken and falling off. Add cobwebs to doors and windows.

3. Draw a spooky greeter behind the door flap. Glue cotton ball ghosts to the roof and around the house. Fill your box with Halloween treats and treasures.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.

"We made a spooky neighborhood. On Halloween the kids delivered treats along Heebie Jeebie Lane."
Jeff G., after-school program coordinator.

"At a Trick-or-Treat party, our daughters and their friends made miniature Haunted Houses with little cereal boxes."
Jorell & Len J., parents of 3 girls.

The 9th century European custom of souling may have been the root of our modern Trick-or-Treat tradition. On November 2 (All Souls' Day), early Christians walked from village to village begging for soul cakes, a kind of currant bread. Each soul cake received represented a prayer for the recipient's dead relatives from the donor.
