Begin by tracing and cutting out handprints in various colors (white, black, orange, green, and purple). To speed up the process, stack the construction paper sheets before tracing and cutting. I found doing 3 at once doable. I would prep this step before starting especially for younger crafters 2-6 years old.
Invite your child to draw faces on each handprint, transforming them into spooky Halloween characters. Let their imagination guide them as they create their own monsters, ghosts, witches, and ghouls! They can use the white acrylic paint markers and other colours. I found the paint markers worked best. but any markers will do.
Cut a black sheet of construction paper so that it provides a thin border all around the white construction paper. Glue the black paper onto the white one, leaving a border.
Have your child use a white paint marker to write "Happy Halloween" on the black paper. Their artistic touch will add a personalized element to the sign.
Cut a piece of yarn, and tape the ends securely to the back of the sign. This will allow you to hang your Handprint Halloween Sign wherever you like!
Once your sign is complete, proudly display it on your front door, in the hallway, or anywhere that needs a touch of Halloween spirit.
