Here is another apple craft that allows me to use a hand print. I love hand print crafts. You will need: Paper, green paint, brush, scissors and glue. Make a green hand print at the top of the paper.

This is a great craft for even young children. I think it turned out so cute. You will need: Red, yellow and orange paint, scissors, toilet paper roll, and green construction paper (or card stock). Cut the green paper into the shape of the tree top. Use fingerprints dipped in the paint as Fall leaves. Cut 2 slits down, across from each other on the toilet paper roll. Slide tree top into those slits.

Cheyanne and I had so much fun doing this wreath. And I think it turned out great. You will need: Paint , brushes, construction paper, glue, scissors and poster board. For the pumpkin print, paint palm of hand and stamp on paper. After orange paint has dried decorate Jack-o-lanterns. For the ghost, paint bottom of the foot with white paint, then stamp on black paper. Decorate ghosts face. Cut out each print. Make a wreath shape with the poster board. I traced bowls for the circle. Glue on pumpkins and ghosts.
