Halloween craft activities for you with your newborn! Since your newborn baby is probably a bit young for trick and treat here are some craft ideas instead!
Halloween crafts for/with your newborn baby
Use hand and/or footprints for Halloween crafts. This will not only provide some great fun and decoration for your home, but also become a great keepsake! You could create the same image every year to see how much your little-ones hands and feet have grown.
Top tips for hand and footprints with babies:
- If you baby is old enough to safely sit in a highchair, have them sit in a highchair to get safe and less messy access to their feet
- If your baby is too young to be able to sit in a highchair, either do their footprints when they are asleep or have a friend or family member helping.
- Use water based paints and check the lable to see if they’ll wash out or might stain
- It is easier to get a successful handprint from your baby when they are a little older. Newborn babies tend to have the hands tightly closed into a fist a lot of the time. Best bet of newborn handprints is when they are fast asleep!
