The young artist will have a great time creating and displaying this Halloween mobile.

Gather these supplies:

Black, orange, and white cardstock
Fishing line
Scissors
Patterns for the Halloween shapes—ghosts; BOO; Happy Halloween; haunted house and bat; jack-o-lanterns; and spider, hat, and cat

Let’s make the Halloween Mobile:

Print and cut out patterns. Trace onto appropriate colored cardstock.
Use a large flat surface (table top, floor, etc.) to arrange the Halloween shapes the way you want them. This is my arrangement, but experiment to find one that pleases you.
Use lengths of fishing line to tie the shapes together. Note: As an alternative you can use string, twine, thread, or yarn to tie the shapes together. I prefer the transparency of fishing line.
Unless your cardstock is super stiff, you may need to support the Happy Halloween element on the back side with a thin skewer.
Display your mobile and have a Happy Halloween!!
