Ghost feet, be very scared!



It is hard to believe in one month it will be Halloween! Today it was in the mid to upper 80's, so it is really hard to get into the Halloween mood; but we are trying! Last week, I decided to make ghost feet with Mason and Brandon.

Ghost feet are so easy to make (we made them at the preschool)!

What You Need:
Washable paint (white)
Construction paper (black)
Towels
A pan to put the paint in


What You Do:
Dip each child's foot into the white paint.
Have the children step onto the black piece of construction paper.
Turn the page upside down and paint black eyes onto the footprint shape in order to create a ghost.
Hang up the painting with fishing line for Halloween!

*I laminate mine, so I can keep them year after year.

*Be sure to write the year and child's age on the back!

My goal was to make two ghost for each boy, but that plan quickly changed! I did Mason's foot first and he was wiggly and squirmy; I was luck to get one made! Brandon wasn't as bad, but he wasn't willing to let me do two! I will have to try again another day!

I have a "ghost" foot for every Halloween since Mason has been born and one from Jacob since he was 4! They are cute to group together and hang from the ceiling as if they are floating!
