Kids love this spooky time, so here are 7 cute Halloween handprint and footprint craft ideas for you to try out:
1. Baby Bumpkin or Bum-kin
OK, so strictly speaking this isn’t a hand or a footprint. But it’s definitely cute and perfect for Halloween!
Just before a bath, pop some baby safe orange paint on baby’s bum and make a quick print – then wash it off baby’s bum in the bath! You can paint a stalk and leaves on to the baby bum print to turn it into a Bum-kin or Bum-pkin!
What a cute Halloween craft idea. The cutest Bumpkin in the patch!
