Spooky Goofballs
These guys might look square, but they’re a lot of fun at Halloween parties!
You need:
- 1 or more PEBBLES™ 311g cereal box
- Construction or wrapping paper (the larger the better) in Halloween colours
- Scissors
- Glue
- Markers
- Clear tape
- 2 push pins
Here’s what to do:
FRANKENSTEIN
- Tape the top of the empty box shut.
- Wrap the box, like a present, with green paper.
- Cut a strip of black paper the width of the box and cut the bottom edge so that it has fringe. Draw a zigzag mouth, scars, and cut out white half circles for the eyes (colour in the pupils with a black marker). Don’t forget to add a massive unibrow.
- Glue your facial features into place.
- Press a push pin into each side of the box, low down where Frankenstein’s neck should be. Put a little bit of glue on the inside edge of the push pins to keep them in place.
DRACULA
- Tape the top of the empty box shut.
- Wrap the box, like a present, with purple paper.
- Cut a strip of black paper the width of the box and cut two half moons side-by-side to create Dracula’s widow’s peak. Cut out white half circles for the eyes (colour in the pupils with a black marker), add the black paper unibrow, and make a mouth in any shape you like, adding red fangs to make him even creepier.
- Glue the facial features into place.
Don’t stop there! Using other colours of paper, cut out eyes (be creative—your character can have one massive eye or 20 small ones), a mouth (lots of teeth!) and anything else you think your goofball needs. Hair, eyebrows, a mustache—the options are endless.
