When Sarah was three she came home from preschool with a little ghost made out of her footprint. It is a simple and adorable little Halloween craft that we have done each year since. I apologize for not having a picture, so you'll have to use a bit of your imagination here.
Trace your child's foot on a white piece of construction paper. Cut it out. Turn the footprint so the heel is up. Where their heel was is the ghost's head. The toes are the bottom fringes. We use googlie eyes for the eyes and draw on a smile. On the back I write their name and year. This year will be Sarah's fourth ghost and Emily's third. The girls and I love to look at how their feet have grown from year to year and so do I.
I hope your family has a safe and happy Halloween!

What a wonderful idea, Wendy. I wish I would have done something like this since Sophie was little. I also have done this with Sophie except that we paint the bottom of her feet (kids love this) with white paint, and transfer her foot print to black construction paper. After it dries, she dips either her finger or thumb in black paint and give it eyes. It's a very fun project!
