Handprint Haunted House

Turn your child’s handprint into a spooky little haunted house. This Halloween craft is simple, fun and makes the perfect seasonal decoration.

You’ll Need:

  • Washable paint (purple, orange or any spooky color)
  • Paintbrush or sponge
  • White paper or cardstock
  • Black marker or pen

Let’s Make it:

  1. Paint your child’s hand with washable paint and press it onto white paper to create the base of the haunted house. Let it dry completely.
  2. Use a black marker to draw a door on the palm area and little roof triangles on top of each finger to form the house’s spooky peaks.
  3. Add bats, a curly-tailed cat and mini pumpkins to bring your haunted house to life.

Why We Love It:

  • Turns your child’s handprint into a one-of-a-kind Halloween creation.
  • Encourages imagination and storytelling — who lives inside your haunted house?
  • Perfect for creative family time that’s quick, fun, and mess-friendly.
  • Makes a wonderful keepsake to look back on as those little hands grow.
