Supplies:
- Templates
- Markers
- Acrylic paint
Instructions:
STEP 1: Print out the square coloring pages/templates.
STEP 2: Paint your hand with acrylic paint and place it carefully into the hand outline. Roll your fingers around so you get most of the paint off of your hands and onto the paper. Leave it to dry.
Alternatively, trace your hand onto construction paper. Then, cut the hand out and glue it onto the template.
STEP 3: Use a black marker to draw faces onto your hand creations.
STEP 4: Add more color by shading the background squares with your markers. Also a time to get creative with colors.

Tips For Making This Halloween Handprint Art
- Choose the Right Paint Colors: Select Halloween-themed paint colors such as black, orange, purple, and green.
- Prepare Your Workspace: Cover your work surface with newspaper or a plastic tablecloth to protect it from paint spills. Ensure you have all your supplies ready, including paintbrushes, paper, and a water container for cleaning hands and brushes.
- Use Non-Toxic Paint: Ensure your paint is non-toxic and safe for all participants. Acrylic or washable tempera paints are good choices for handprint crafts. See how to make your own non-toxic paint.
- Add Details and Decorations: After making the handprint, add details with a brush or by using other craft supplies like googly eyes, glitter, or markers.
- Use Paper Instead Of Paint: Want an easy alternative to hand painting? Trace around the hand on paper. Then cut it out and glue to the template.
