Cabin fever

Spending all weekend in lock down with a 5 year old has it's rewards.

We created a spooky Halloween twig display in our dining room.

Made ghosts out of small bouncy balls, white linen fabric scraps and twine {lil one drew on the face with a sharpie}. Spray painted some clothespins black and glued the bats {we colored and cut out} to them. Added some cut out jack o lanterns using paper clips:
