14. Footprint Ghost Keepsakes
Preserve memories of your child’s tiny feet with these precious Footprint Ghost Keepsakes. Parents cherish these personalized crafts that capture a moment in time, while kids love the tickly, sensory experience of having paint brushed onto the soles of their feet. These make wonderful gifts for grandparents or beautiful additions to your annual Halloween decor box.
Paint the bottom of your child’s foot with non-toxic, washable white paint. Have them press their foot firmly onto a sheet of black construction paper or a small canvas. When you lift their foot, the heel forms the head of the ghost, and the toes create a charming, wavy bottom edge. Once the paint is dry, use a black marker to draw two oval eyes and a howling mouth inside the heel print. Write the child’s name and the year at the bottom to complete this sweet, spooky keepsake.
