Frogs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tail (FSPDT): Footprint Ghost- Classic Halloween Craft for Kids

Footprint Ghost- Classic Halloween Craft for Kids

Pin It
I wanted to find a craft for Halloween that baby brother could get in on too.  We did footprint art for mothers day with him and it turned out great(never blogged about it).  So I decided to try the classic ghost footprint craft with all 3 boys.  It turned out to be the perfect Halloween craft for multi aged kids (10 mo, 2yr, and 4.5 yr).  Each one of them had fun making footprints in the paint.  And each of them had a fun ghost craft in the end.

What we did:

I put white paint in a paper plate.  I took the kids foot and dipped it in the paint.  Then placed it on the black paper.  I left the prints to dry.

To Finish the craft:

We came back and used black paint and cotton swabs to make eyes and mouth on our footprint ghost.
