Footprint Ghosts

To go with our spe­cial ghost fruit treats today, I decided we should make foot­print ghosts. I’m such a sucker for the handprint/footprint crafts!  There­fore, I hap­pen to think these are SUPER cute! 

All you need for this is dark con­struc­tion paper, white paint (prefer­ably of the wash­able, non-toxic vari­ety), a black marker, a paint brush/sponge and some cute lit­tle toot­sies! (Depend­ing on what you decide to do with the fin­ished prod­ucts, you might also need scis­sors & tape/glue).
Just paint the bot­toms of said cute lit­tle toot­sies and apply the painted foot to your dark con­struc­tion paper.  After the paint dries (which should be rather quickly), use your marker to give the ghosts a face! And, that’s it! :)  
Then you have so many options…make adorable cards to send to fam­ily, cut them out and hang them around the house for decorations…or cre­ate some type of ghost scene.  I opted to do fam­ily ghost pic­tures (one for us and one for our friends whose kids I watched today).
So, here’s the mommy ghost and her two bootiful boys (the daddy ghost was at work):

And, here are the 3 sib­lings:

A fun, quick, and cute way to pre­serve mem­o­ries of those lit­tle toes before they are big, stinky, and won’t par­tic­i­pate in cheesy super cool crafts with you any­more. ;)
