Pool Noodle Ghost Kids
I love everything Halloween, especially Halloween crafts that I can decorate with. Throughout the years, I’ve shared some fun Halloween decoration ideas for DIY, like Pool Noodle Candles, Halloween Stacked BOO Pumpkins, and Halloween Fabric Ghosts.
I have been dying to make these pool noodle kid ghosts and add them to my Halloween decor this year. My mom showed me this idea a while back, and I have been gathering supplies ever since. Mine turned out a little different than the ones she showed me, which had little kid’s blue jeans on. So cute! I, however, have older kids now. and the little kid clothes are long gone. I love how they turned out. They are cute with or without the blue jeans.

- Pool Noodle
- White Fabric – You can use an old sheet, cotton fabric, or polyester fabric.
- Black Fabric – You will only need a small amount to make the ghost’s eyes
- Shoes – Tall boots work best, but you can probably use any shoes. If you have kid’s shoes, that would be so cute. However, you might need to weigh them down to support the pool noodle. I used an old pair of tall boots for my ghost.
