Halloween 2009

Halloween 2009, we went batty. This super cute handprint craft is not my idea but it turned out so adorable, I had to post it.

DLTK Kids Handprint Bat

Here is the link to the original instructions and printables. I went ahead and printed them out. I glued one together and then scanned and printed them for the kids.

Enjoy!

This year, we're doing another handprint craft. 2010's model includes a ghost, Frankenstien and a pumpkin.

Materials Needed:

Washable paint - green and orange

Using the white crayon, draw a large B onto the left-hand side of the page.

Draw eyes and a mouth with the black crayon.

Paint the child's right hand with the orange paint using a sponge wedge.

Press painted hand firmly onto paper making sure that they tuck in their thumb close to their other fingers. Fingers should be pointing down to the bottom. Wipe hand with wet wipe. 

Paint the child's left hand with the green paint using a sponge wedge.

Press painted hand firmly onto paper making sure that they tuck in their thumb close to their other fingers. Fingers should be pointing down to the bottom. Wipe hand with wet wipe.

Using the orange crayon, draw an outline of a pumpkin around the orange handprint. Draw lines lightly through the pumpkin shape. Draw a stem and some leaves with the crayons on the top of the pumpkin.

Using the green crayon, draw a face shape around the green handprint. With the black crayon, draw some hair, neck bolts, eyes, nose, mouth and a few scars.
