Ghost Footprint Art

I am a huge fan of hand and footprint art!  Especially with the lil ones who can't quite paint or draw on their own... yet!!  I have tons of different ideas for every occasion.  Subscribe to my blog and check back often to see them all!

Supplies:
Construction paper, white paint, paint brush, wiggly eyes, and baby wipes (a MUST).
I use the acrylic paint, I have found it wipes off the easiet and dries the fastest!  Best when you have multiple steps and you don't want to mix the paint or smear it everywhere.  I also like to use a small fan brush but you could even use the sponges too. 

Paint one foot at a time and stamp the paper with their foot.  I like them to stand so its easiest to just step their foot onto the paper.  I stamp one foot and then wipe it clean with baby wipes, then repeat with the other foot.

My favorite wiggly eyes are the self adhesive kind.  They're a little more expensive but its so much easier not to mess with the glue!  Put your wiggly eyes on and your done!! 

BOO!!!
