Halloween Cup Lanterns #kidsactivities #halloween

How to do this activity

A. Materials you need

plastic cups
acrylic or washable paint
googly eyes
white streamer
hot glue

B. Set-up

Paint your cups the color you want! We made an orange pumpkin, a white ghost, a white mummy, a purple monster, and a green Frankenstein.

C. Activity

You only need one coat because you want to see the light shine through it, so a thin layer of paint is just fine.

When making the pumpkin or ghost, add some black paint for the face. When creating the monster, Frankenstein and mummy, hot glue googly eyes on them.

Then, the mummy can have added white streamer wrapped around it. You can just tape the streamer on or hot glue it if you want to make sure it's more secure.

Add a tea light under the cup and see them light up at night!
