1. Choose to draw the pumpkin game board on orange Li'l Hands Construction paper, or draw the haunted house game board on gray or brown Li'l Hands Construction Paper.
2. Color the game board and pieces using Li'l Hands Coloring pens. If you drew the pumpkin game board, you will have extra pumpkin pieces.
3. Mold the game pieces out of Li'l Hands Modelling clay, make 5 each of two different kinds of pieces. We used ghosts and pumpkins, but you could also make witch hats, caldrons, black cats, or spiders. Be sure to compare your pieces to the board, to make them a good size to fit in the spaces, and flatten the bottoms of the pieces so that they don't roll away from where you placed them.
4. Cut around the outside edges of the pumpkin or haunted house board using Li'l Hands Craft Scissors. If you want to keep your board square, just cut the row of pumpkins off the bottom of the pumpkin board.
5. If you want your game to last for a long time, glue the base and pieces to
some cardboard. Let the glue dry, then cut out the pieces again.
It is a bit difficult to cut cardboard, be sure to use Li'l Hands Craft scissors, and get an adult to help if needed.
6. Enjoy your new game. You can also use it as a Halloween decoration when you are not playing with it.
