Footprint Ghost Bookmark

Need a bookmark? Try making your very own footprint ghost bookmark. All you need are foam craft and googly eyes.
The ghost is best done on white craft foam. I did not have any white craft foam at the time of doing this, so I settled with yellow foam instead. Trace the outline of your foot onto the foam. Cut it out. Paste the googly eyes and decorate it.

Cut a small slit slightly below the mouth.

Your footprint ghost bookmark is done!

Quick and easy!

Handprint Fly

Feel like making a fly today.
You'll need a black craft foam, a laminating sheet, pipe cleaner, some yarn, stones for the eyes and glue.
Trace your handprint on the laminating sheet.

Cut two circles of slightly different sizes and a small oval and paste them onto a piece of paper to form the abdomen of the fly.

Spread glue onto the laminating sheet and scatter some yarn all over it.

Sorry for the picture does not really show the 'wings' properly. Anyway, here is the handprint fly.

Hand Print Crab

Isn't this beautiful? A nice and simple to do hand print crab.
First, paint your palm yellow. I got Ethan's chubby hands as my model here.
Then paint all five fingers orange.

Stamp it onto a white paper. Repeat with the other hand. Then using your finger, put 2 black fingerprint as the eyes on the 'thumb'.

The handprint crab is done and Ethan is all smiles!

Hand Print Sheep

This hand print sheep is very simple to do.
Just trace the outline of your palm.

Help your little one to cut it out. Then get him to glue all over it.

Paste it onto a piece of paper.

Paste some cotton onto it's body. You're done! Add details such as eye and ribbon.

Butter-fingers

This handprint butterfly is simple to do.
I got Ethan to draw the outline of his palm. And then I helped him cut it out.
Paste the cut-out hands on a piece of paper.
I use black foam for the body and got Ethan to paste the googly eyes.

Handprint Tree

At the playground today, Ethan kept on observing the trees and the falling leaves. He has seen those trees and the leaves everyday for so many months now but wonder why today he was more intrigue by them. So when we got back home, I decided to do this craft with him.
By now this boy is an expert in tracing the outline of his palm. I helped him cut out the 'hands' as he is too young to use the scissors.
I let him do his own pasting. One thing about craft for kids is, the more imperfect it is, the better I like it!

He is so proud of all his crafts, he kept on telling Daddy, "Ethan make tree" and also "Ethan make SUN" referring to his previous Sun craft! :)

You Are My Sunshine

On this hot sweaty day, let's make the sun looks kinder and cuter so that we don't hate it so much, shall we?

Start by tracing the hand on yellow paper. For small palm like Ethan's, fold the A4 paper twice to get 4 equal parts. Cut out the hand prints. Paint a paper plate yellow.
Only the bottom part of the plate needs to be painted.
Glue the hand prints onto the painted plate.

Add details such as the eyes and a smile and the Sun is done!
Look at the little fella admiring his Sun amongst many other artworks on the wall! :)
