Similar to Elf on the Shelf, Ghosty helps make October more festive with a Halloween countdown. Currently seeking financing on crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, Ghosty is a durable paper card that you dress up in a different costume every day leading up to Halloween. Whether you keep Ghosty in one place or choose to hide him in different places around your home, it is an easy and creative way to get kids excited about dressing up for Halloween.
Since Christmas has advent calendars, why shouldn't kids get excited with a Halloween countdown too? By adding a little Easter element to the holiday, children can get excited about discovering where Ghosty is hiding and what he's wearing next. You also get to explore your own artistic talents as you create new costumes.
