The Easiest “BOO!” Handprint Ghost Halloween Keepsake
Who can resist crafting up a handmade piece with their kids? I know we can’t!
But I also know that once the holidays start rolling in, your time as a parent becomes limited as well.
That’s why at Glued To My Crafts we STRIVE at making it super EASY for you, to not only get crafty with the kids on limited time BUT we also make it super simple for YOU to make things in multiples, so you can have them ready to gift at a moments notice!
So take for example today’s “easiest Halloween keepsake printable.” All you need to do is grab the “boo” themed file below, print it as many times as you want on some colored paper and then finally, add your child’s handprints {or footprints} to create ghosts. That’s it!
With these simple steps you can make SEVERAL ghost themed keepsakes with your child, in just a few minutes, with little to no hassle.
Then when the ghost master pieces are dry, either gift them as is or frame them in a cheap Dollar Tree frame so the lucky receiver can show it off in their home, all season long.
