Ghost Foam is amazingly FUN!  It is squishy, it fizzes, and it's mold-able.  It is also naturally cold, which adds a really fun element to play.   Are you ready to "get your ghost on"?

  • We slowly mixed our ingredients so that we could explore a variety of textures along the way.

Making Ghosts

  • Once we had a mixture we liked I gave Rosie black craft foam so that she could make ghosts.

  • She had lots of fun playing in the squishy foam.  It was SO soft, yet mold-able.

Then, things got really fun!  
  • I gave Rosie a squirt bottle of vinegar, and she was suddenly transformed into "ghost buster"!
