Werewolf Halloween Craft

Supplies

• Colored cardstock or construction paper
• Scissors
• Glue
• White out pen
• Werewolf template (enter your email in the form at the end of this post to have the link sent to you)

Directions

Download the werewolf template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.

Trace your child’s hand onto a piece of brown or gray paper and cut it out. Position the handprint with fingers pointing up. Place the werewolf fur piece on top of the fingers, making sure it covers the top of them, and glue it in place.

Cut out around the fingers to reveal the fingers again. Alternatively, you can use crayons, markers, or paint to draw the fur on.

Next, take the eyes and glue them in the middle of the hand, one on each side.

Place the nose and mouth piece in between and just below the eyes and glue it down.

Take the eyebrows and glue them above each of the eyes. Angle them slightly upward for a happy face or slightly downward for an angry face.

Use a white-out pen to draw the fangs below the mouth. You can also use a white gel marker, but it won’t be as opaque as a white-out pen.

That’s it! Isn’t this such a cute handprint craft?!
