Grab your bare foot sweetie pie. Now, I painted her foot with a paint brush, but if you're doing this with a group or an older child you can have them step in a plate of paint. Either way paint the foot making sure you coat the heel well. Then press their foot or have them stand on the paper. I let Miss Roo sit on the dinning room table, do you like my witches? I did the first two letting her stand up , but it worked out much better when she sat and I pressed her foot down. Remember it's the upside down foot that makes a ghost.

Leave the footprints to dry. Wipe off your assistant. I used Crayola washable paint. I like it because it comes off with water. It also dries quickly.

Once the footprints dry decorate them. My helper said "Ghosts say Boo! Put bows to look pretty." So I glued googly eyes and used red glitter glue to make mouths. I also gave a couple of them pretty purple bows. I helped the babies at the daycare do these this morning. They made hand print pumpkin patches on black paper and had their ghosts flying over their pumpkins, very cute.
