Happy Halloween Ghost: Handprint Kids Craft

Supplies:

Black paper

White paint (I like to use this white acrylic paint because it goes on thicker and shows up brighter)

Paintbrush

Glue

Black pen

Googly Eyes-affiliate link

Directions:

Coat the child’s hand with white paint and make a handprint on the black paper. Repeat with their other hand and set aside to dry. When making handprint crafts it’s always a good idea to prepare for the mess and have baby wipes on hand to clean up.

Have the child paint a ghost on the paper however they like. Little Tiger painted an outline and then colored it in and added dots around the edge. Little Dragon went for a more freestyled approach adding swishes and dots where he pleased. Set aside to dry.

Cut out the handprints.

Have the child glue on the handprints and googly eyes, and then have them use the pen to draw a mouth. Now their little ghost is ready to say, “Boo!”
