Halloween
By patsi

How about a Halloween bulletin board using the children's handprints.Bats: trace each child's open hand on a folded piece of paper.Place thumb right on fold of a folded piece of black paper.This should create a two prints
of the child's hand connected at the fold;hence making it look like a bat when it's cut out.Add googly eyes and draw mouth with chalk.Ghosts: use white paper and trace child's hands,but make sure to round off the palm area for the head of the ghost.
Add eyes with black paint created with fingertips.For background I would allow the class to paint haunted houses on black paper with neon/glow

in the dark paints (Wal-Mart).If it is possible and you could add a black bulb to shine upon these pics, they look awesome!I would even stretch some "cobweb" stuff (cheap at Dollar stores) on the corners. You go girl and get creative.
