Pull out some inexpensive quilt batting or even A/C vent filters for these simple Footprint Ghosts. Make them silly or scary, it’s easy to make several. Not as messy as painted footprint craft, but every bit as cute!
We’ve all seen the cute ghosts made with a painted footprint, but I really can’t imaging being the preschool teacher who enjoys painting student’s feet, then cleaning up!
All you need is the flexible, easy to work with white fabric bating, some google eyes, a black marker and scissors.
This is a great Halloween craft for the little ones to take home to mom and dad. These footprint ghosts are super easy and inexpensive. You can use polyester batting – the thinner the better. Another option is to use A/C vent filters which are usually pre-cut into easy to use pieces (24 for $8, measuring 10″ x 4″). For smaller quantities, you can also find vent filters in packs of 12 for around $5 and are large enough to make 2 footprint ghosts from each filter. Depending of course on the size of the children’s feet 
Don’t forget about Grandma & Grandpa. Make an extra set of ghosts to send in the mail with a holiday greeting. It’s cheaper than a greeting card and will be much more appreciated.
- Using the black marker, trace the child’s foot on to the fabric. Depending on the child’s age and ability will determine if it is to be cut out by the child or adult.
- Attach google eyes with the craft glue. Instead of the google eyes, the black marker can be used.
- Next, add a mouth with the black marker.
- Foot Print Ghosts can be displayed by hanging from the ceiling or use a magnet on the back to attach to the refrigerator.
