In the spirit of Halloween lets do something fun that the kids can hang around the house. Today we're going to make ghosts and witches with our hands and feet. Here's what you'll need.
- A Yellow & black sheet of craft paper
- White and Green paint (if your little one doesn't like to get their hands dirty use a white & green crayon)
- Black & orange markers
- Sticker eyes
- Halloween stickers
- Candy corn to nibble on while you work. ;)
Step 1: Ghostly feet
Grab your black sheet of construction paper and white paint. Sit your child down and cover the bottoms of their feet with paint and press onto the paper creating ghosts. If you prefer to go the less messy route then use a white crayon to outline both feet then shade in your ghost.
Step 2: Decorating your ghosts. (After the paint dries)
Grab your stickers and let your little one decorate their ghosts. We ran by our local dollar store and found jiggly eyes and Halloween stickers for decorating.
Step 3: Making your witch.
Grab your green paint and use it to make your child's green handprint in the middle of the page. If you want to go less messy then trace their hand in green with your crayon and shade it in when finished. After the hand is complete draw a broom for the witch using your black marker. Then take your orange marker and ask you little one to give her hair. I did a few to show my three year old what we were going for, then he did the rest.
Step 4: Making the witch look witchy. (After the paint dries)
Grab you jiggly eyes and stickers and let your kids use their imagination to decorate. My son had the best time giving her scary teeth and big eyes!
I hope you and your little ghouls enjoyed our little project. Max's work hangs over the art table to add to our Halloween decor. He loves to show everyone his creations!
