Paper Plate Ghost Handprint Craft
Who says ghosts have to be spooky?? These friendly paper plate ghosts have hands made from a child’s handprint! A handprint craft is always a great keepsake. These handprint ghosts would even make a fun gift for grandparents (or even parents, if they’re made at school!). This is a really simple craft that’s great for younger kids, preschoolers and toddlers. It uses simple supplies and comes together easily. And it’s always fun to turn a handprint into something special!

What can I use to make the face?
We cut out the faces from cardstock because of the nice dark colours, but you can easily use construction paper instead. Or why not paint the face on or draw it on with markers?
What if I don’t have tissue paper?
If you don’t have white tissue paper you can also use crepe paper streamers, gauze, or — hear me out — toilet paper. For a different look you could also attach strands of yarn!
Hang these adorable handprint paper plate ghosts with a string, or stick a magnet on the back of them and hang them on the fridge. Either way you’ll enjoy these cute DIY Halloween decorations!
