Spooky Handprint Ghosts:

Materials Needed:
  • Black construction paper or cardstock
  • White tempera or acrylic paint
  • Paintbrush
  • Water and a dish for mixing paint (if needed)
  • Marker or pen (optional, for adding details)
Steps:
  1. Prepare Your Work Area:
    Lay out your black paper on a flat surface, ensuring you have enough space to work comfortably.
  2. Paint the Handprint:
    Dip your child's hand into the white paint, making sure to cover the entire palm and fingers.
    Gently press the hand onto the black paper. This will create the ghost's body.
  3. Create the Ghost's Face:
    Using the white paint and a fine paintbrush or your finger, add two oval-shaped eyes and a small oval for the mouth.
  4. Add Details (Optional):
    Once the paint has dried, you can use a black marker or pen to enhance the facial features or add any additional details you'd like.
  5. Let it Dry:
    Allow the paint to fully dry before displaying your Spooky Handprint Ghosts.
  6. Display Your Ghosts:
    You can hang your ghost art on a wall or window, or even create a fun Halloween-themed collage.

 

This craft is a wonderful way to get creative with minimal materials. Enjoy the process and have a spook-tacular time making these ghosts with your little one!
