Fun and Easy Hand Print Halloween Crafts For Kids

Supplies

Card stock or building paper (any color but black) Black tempera or poster paint (or even dark purple and red make a cool spider) Paintbrush Googly eyes Glue

Directions

Using the paint brush, thoroughly cover your child's palm and four fingers. Don't paint the thumb. Use black paint or the color your child superior for their spider. Next have the kids press their hand firmly on the paper spreading their fingers slightly. Now paint their other hand all except the thumb. Have your child press that hand down on the paper, overlapping the first hand print and making sure the fingers are over from the ones in the primary print. This will form the spider's body and 8 legs. The kids can fill in any spots with the paint brush or use their fingers to spread the paint in the gaps. Let this dry thoroughly before the next step. Now it's time to add some eyes. You can use paper cut outs or add some fun wiggle eyes. Just glue these in place and you will have a creepy, crawly spider craft.

Here are some fun ways to add to your Halloween craft.

Add some glitter glue to make the spider shiny and scary. Take some pom poms and cut puny pieces to generate a fuzzy fur for the spider. Spread the glue colse to your spider and then moderately press the pom pom pieces in place. You can dress up your spider with some fun Halloween stickers as well.

Hand Print Ghost

For this Halloween craft idea you will want black paper and white paint to honestly let your ghost show. This is yet other great Halloween craft idea for toddlers and even younger kids but even big kids love making this one.

Supplies

Black card stock or building paper White tempera or poster paint Paintbrush Googly eyes Glue Scissors

Directions

Using the paint brush, thoroughly cover your child's whole palm, fingers and thumb with paint. Now have them press their hand on the paper firmly with fingers slightly spread apart (not too wide). Fill in any gaps with the paintbrush or their fingers. Once the paint is dry, glue on some wiggle eyes at the top of the palm area. Cut out a mouth using black paper and glue this on below the eyes.

The fingers come to be the bottom of the ghost making it look like a torn up sheet and is just too cute to be too scary.

Here are some fun ways to add to your Halloween hand print craft.

Instead of using wiggle eyes and paper, use black paint to draw on the face and eyes. Make them large and wiggly for a fun look to your ghost. By some spider webbing and stretch this out. Then spread glue colse to the ghost and moderately lay the webbing over the glue. Once the glue is dry, cut away any excess webbing. Try adding some white glitter to your ghost. Spread some glue colse to and then sprinkle on the glitter.

Another honestly fun alternative to this hand print Halloween craft is to make it a footprint ghost. Kids will love how it tickles when you paint their foot. Of procedure it goes without saying that you want to start with clean feet so have a pail of water and towel handy so all the kids in the class can clean up first.
