Silly, Smelly Halloween Garland

Make your own one-of-a-kind Halloween decorations with Crayola® Silly Scents™ and your imagination!

1. Get started on your silly, smelly garland with these ideas—and invent your own, too!

2. Draw bats, pumpkins, and other Halloween designs on posterboard with Crayola Silly Scents™ Markers, Crayons, and/or Colored Pencils. Colors you’ll want to try include Witch’s Brew, Mummy’s Tomb, Smashed Pumpkin, and Scary Movie. Cut out the pieces with Crayola Scissors.

3. Embellish the designs with Crayola Squeezables™ 3-D Paints. Air-dry the paint.

4. To make a ghost, cut batting into a square. Roll a ball of batting for a head. Place it in the center of the square, gather the batting around the head, and tie with ribbon. Add eyes and mouth to the ghost with Squeezables. Air-dry.

5. To complete your garland, cut a long piece of colorful ribbon. Punch a hole in the top of each bat and pumpkin. Space the bats, pumpkins, and ghosts evenly on the ribbon. Tie ribbon around the ghosts’ heads. Choose the perfect indoor spot to proudly display your smelly garland.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

Squeezables® 3-D Paint— WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Not for use on skin.

Crayola Washable Paints—Not for use as body/face paint.

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.

String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
