My kiddos and I love making crafts together for the holidays, especially for Halloween. As a fun and non-scary way to prepare for the upcoming holiday, I helped my daughter and son make Frankenstein’s monster footprint crafts. My kids love playing in the paint and then the sink, and I love locking a small piece of my babies in time.
Materials
- Blank paper
- Green, black, and white nontoxic paint
- Scrap cardboard
- Cotton balls
- Paintbrush
Directions
- Pour a small amount of green and black paint on the scrap cardboard.
- Use cotton balls to spread green paint on the bottom of your child’s foot and black paint on your child’s toes.
- Press the green and black footprint onto the sheet of paper with the toes pointing up.
- Repeat to create as many monsters as desired.
- Wash the paint off your child’s foot.
- Pour a small amount of white paint on the scrap cardboard.
- Press two white fingerprints onto each green footprint near the black toes.
- Wash the paint off your child’s finger.
- Use a paintbrush to paint black pupils, a mouth, and neck bolts on each monster.
