Rice Ghost Craft

Halloween is this month and the kids couldn't be more excited! While making our One Pan, Easy Pea-sy Chicken & Rice Recipe this week, we used a handful of extra rice to make these adorable Rice Ghosts. This incredibly simple craft brought smiles to my kiddos' faces and even inspired them to make a festive puppet show!
