Puffy Paint Handprint Ghost Magnets & Tissue Paper Ghosts for Halloween!

I couldn't hold off any longer on our Halloween fun!
The Lil Divas were begging for pumpkins, witches, bats, spiders and ghosts!

So I decided to put a few things on the back burner for now
& dive in to all the Halloween fun!

Puffy Paint Handprint Ghost Magnets



What You Need:
shaving cream
glue
black foam
paint brush
black paint


What to Do:
1. Mix shaving cream and glue to create your puffy paint. I don't measure and honestly it's never come out wrong so this is pretty forgiving. I use more shaving cream than glue but I am generous with the glue so that it sticks well.

2. Let child paint their hand - be sure to encourage them to apply puffy paint generously!



3. Press onto the black foam and allow to dry a little but not completely.

3. Using a small brush add eyes and mouth


4. Add magnets to the back of each foam piece add dates, names, etc if desired.


5. Proudly Display!

Easy Tissue Paper Ghosts



What You Need:
tissue paper (used from gift wrap)
tissue (kleenex)
pipe cleaner
permanent marker


What To Do:

1. Make a ball out of the tissue/kleenex and cover it with the tissue paper pinching to make a head


2. Tie w/pipe cleaner and add eyes & mouth using permanent marker.



3. These little guys make great decorations!

  2. Those puffy paint ghosts are wonderful! Once the glue is mixed into the shaving cream, does it just dry puffy like that? I've never tried that before and I think my guys will love it. :)
