Hooray – the holidays are coming (Thanksgiving and Halloween), plus it’s a new season, and that means NEW CRAFTS! The bean and I have been busy busy busy collecting fall leaves and flattening them in books for our southern friends (who don’t get to enjoy the beautiful fall foliage), plus working on lots of different crafts and decorating. There are spiderwebs in every corner of our house, we cut out giant paper eyes, mouths, etc. to make our bedroom doors look like monsters, and we even made a fun monster wreath.
But some of my favourite homemade treasures are those with handprints and footprints. Nostalgic parents love to hold up old print crafts with recent ones and “ooh” and “ahh” about how big our munchkins have grown. So here’s a few of our favourites:
Handprint witch. Turn a handprint upside-down and make it look like a witch with her broomstick.
Footprint ghosts. You can colour in the eyes or use funny googly eyes.
“Smell my feet” picture with, what else, two little orange feet.
