Directions:

• First have your child trace their hands {both of them} on some black cardstock. Trim out both handprint pieces with scissors. This is Frankenstein’s hair. Set aside.
• Next up – trim out TWO large circles from the white cardstock, for his eyes. Draw in some black with a crayon/marker, to make the pupils.
• Finally – cut out TWO “bolts” from your remaining black cardstock.
• To finish your Paper Halloween Frankenstein Keepsake, simple staple the two handprint “hair pieces” to the top of the dark green cardstock, along with gluing the other cardstock embellishments in the remaining spots {see our picture for an example. Now draw on a smile with the markers, as well as any other embellishments you see fit.
