These Cute Halloween Handprint Art Ideas Are So Easy

Halloween is basically the midway point of the fall season. Alongside your tricks and treats, you can celebrate the season of all things orange, yellow, and pumpkin-flavored with fall handprint art. Like this blog post from A Little Craft In Your Day shows, little hands dipped in fall colors make the perfect autumn tree.

The Mod Podge Rocks blog shared step-by-step instructions for how to make and mold air dry clay to create Halloween keepsake art with toddler hands and feet.

You can also make a ghost from their footprints and a pumpkin from their tiny, balled-up fist.

Go batty this Halloween and use your kiddo’s tiny hands to create this fingerprint bat craft from Handmade Charlotte.

Simple, easy, and fun.

Get your kitchen ready for spooky season with a set of homemade handprint kitchen towels.

How adorable is this fingerprint pumpkin craft from Handmade Charlotte? Your kids can use their thumbs dipped in white paint to create creepy eyeballs, spooky skeletons, and ghoulish ghosts right on a pumpkin. Instead of (or in addition to) carving a jack-o-lantern, this craft can also double as fun Halloween porch decor.

This Halloween handprint art idea from Plaid via the Mod Podge Rocks blog is super simple to achieve with a decorative orange canvas and some black and white paint.

Your kids can create this adorable Halloween-themed handprint craft with a witch flying on her broomstick.

Hang this ghoulish handprint banner from Crafts By Amanda over your front door to welcome the neighborhood kids on October 31st. It’s super easy to make with your kiddo using their traced handprint cut from construction paper, some markers or crayons, and a glue stick to put it all together.

Who says Halloween can’t be filled with potential opportunities for learning? This vampire handprint art idea from Mommy Minutes is part of an entire alphabet of handprint art ideas, but the “V is for Vampire” idea is just too perfect for Halloween.

Technically, this is not a handprint art idea, but I could not resist adding this creative candy corn footprint craft from Pinkie For Pink it to the list. It gives completely new meaning to “trick-or-treat, smell my feet” and toddlers will totally giggle with delight when their feet get painted yellow, orange, and white like a candy corn.
