Footprint Ghost
Materials: Black construction paper (cut paper in half for little feet), marker, white non-toxic washable paint, paint brush, optional googly eyes
Step 1: Paint the bottom of your baby’s foot with a light coating of paint. Too much paint with make it messy and take a long time to dry. Stamp your baby’s foot on the black construction paper.
Step 2: Let dry, When footprint is dry use a marker to draw mouth and eyes (the heel of the foot is the head of the ghost). If you want instead of drawing eyes with a marker use googly eyes (found at any craft store).
