Halloween Kiddy Craft

I'm probably a little too geeked out to be "room mom" for Felix's preschool class this year. It means that I get to do lots of cute crafts and test out yummy treats. The best part, for me, is that the kids don't really complain if their pumpkin cupcakes are a little "eh" so I can try new recipes out on them before making them for anyone else.

Anyway...

Here's what the little kiddies will be making at the Halloween party this year ~ Ghost hand prints.

I think these are a sweet keepsake for parents to have with their child's little hand print on them.

For these I used orange, black and Halloween-themed scrap book paper, white paint, ribbon and sticky-back googly eyes. If you're trying to kill time (like I will be) you can pre-cut the papers then have the kids layer and glue them all together. If you're looking for a quick project, assemble the paper ahead of time and just do the hand-prints at the party.

You'll want to layer the papers using glue sticks or scrapbooking tape. Be sure to write the child's name on the back before doing the hand print because it will take some time to dry. Or, write the name and year on the front with a white pen. You can glue a magnet on the back so parents can display this on the fridge, or punch holes in the top and add a ribbon so it can be hung on a door handle. Either way, it's a super cute, quick and easy craft for the little ones.
