Download the haunted house template, print it, and cut out the necessary pieces.
Start making the background by using yellow and orange oil pastels to create a large moon in the sky.
Fill in the background with the shade of your choice. In this example, we used a light orange all over the background. Then we went over the light orange with a dark orange around the edges. Finally, we used a dark orange-red at the very edges of the paper.
Blend the oil pastels by dipping the paintbrush in a tiny bit of baby oil and blending the edges into the center of the art paper.
Wipe the paintbrush clean and blend the moon with baby oil. Let it dry completely before proceeding.
Begin building the fence by gluing the thin, black rectangle about 1" from the bottom of the paper on either side of the house.
Next, glue the fence pickets on top of the black rectangles.
Now, it's time to assemble the haunted house. Use the glue stick to secure it to the background.
Glue the windows and doors onto the haunted house.
Add any bats or ghosts to the scene and glue them in place.
