Halloween Keepsakes

Every holiday I like to do fun crafts with my three little children. For Halloween we made keepsake crafts!

I decided we would do some Halloween hand spiders and some Halloween feet ghost. First you need to gather your materials.

Materials :

  • Black & White paper (Also whatever color you want for the spiders eyes)
  • White crayon & Pen for tracing hands and feet
  • Scissors
  • Glue or Tape
For the Spider -

After you get everything you need begin by folding your black paper in half. With white crayon trace your little one's hand but be sure to only do FOUR fingers, if you trace all five your spider will have 10 legs :o)

After you are done you or your child can cut the spider out. Open it up and there you have a nice spider body with eight legs. 

This is when you can add the eyes and my children added 2 white fangs, apply with glue or tape. 

All done!


For the Ghost -

Start by laying your white paper on the ground and then trace the child's foot with the pen.

After you are done tracing the foot either you or your child can cut it out. 

Finish off your ghost with 2 black eyes and a big spooky black mouth.

All done!!

Quick, easy, and fun Halloween keepsakes. Hang on your walls, fridge, or door for some decorations. When the holiday is over you can take them down and write the child's name, age, and date on the back. Put in a safe place so that when they are older you can look back and see how small their hands and feet were!! :o)
