Our stART project this week was reading Where is My Broom? by Margaret A. Hartelius.
I'll be honest, the only reason I picked this book is because I knew Abby would enjoy these footprint witches I saw at Ramblings of a Crazy Woman. This is the only witch book we have, so we read it! LOL!
Abby wanted nothing to do with it a first, as you can see in the picture above. However, it was a cute book and she enjoyed it. It is short and is a picture reader and she helped me read it.
We then made the footprint witches. We traced each others foot on black paper and cut the footprints out and pasted them on a piece of 12x12 Halloween scrapbook paper. We decorated them with Q-tip arms and googly eyes like Ramblings of a Crazy Woman did.
Then I got out a few other supplies and we put hair on our witches, stars on their dresses and Abby decorated the paper with ribbon and drew brooms and cats for each witch.
I think they turned out so cute! I like doing crafts too, so it was fun for me to participate! LOL!
For more stART projects, head to A Mommy's Adventures.
This is the door to the backyard all decorated with Abby's Halloween projects:
I guess we'll be moving on to Thanksgiving projects next week!

Those footprint witches are so cute!
Those are too cute! I can't wait to start doing things like that my Bree. My Mom used to do little crafts with us. We made a lot of Christmas ornaments :)
I love the finished withc print picture. What a cute idea. It looks like you had some fun glitter paint too. It's fun to see Abby's smile transform as she got more into the project;)
Those witches are so cute, but please don't mention Thanksgiving...that sounds a lot like Christmas!!!
That is a very cute project. Definitely one that I would save!
Those turned out so cute. What a fun project. I love the handprint ghosts on the door too, great ideas. :)
What beautiful fall leaves your trees have out your back door!
The project looks great too - good to see her big smile by the end.
I love these!! I think we will be making them for our grandparents. Thanks for linking up :0)
I love projects that use their foot prints or hand prints. I love all the extra embellishments.
What a fun craft!!!
such a cute craft
I love this project!!! It looks like fun and it came out great :)
It's a fun craft - I wish I knew about it before, because I had a witch book and was looking for a decent craft to extend it. I really like the picture of two of you together - so cute.
I love this finished project--adorable! GREAT picture of the two of you too!! I have to be honest, seeing you makes me want to go exercise harder--crazy, random thought, I know:-). Anyway, I also LOVE the way you displayed your picture.
Yep, moved on to Tgiving crafts here today as a matter of fact--I just couldn't wait:-)!
the look on her face is hysterical! Not too subtle, is she??!! How cute.
I just love the way the look on her face went from not so interested to so excited! What a cute project, the witches turned out great!
That's one of the cutest footprint crafts I've ever seen!
That is so cute! I love the display above the sliding glass doors! What a great and creative mommy you are!
I missed the post featuring the footprint witches. Your witches turned out fabulous! I must do this project with my daughters...I have 2 days to sneak in another Halloween craft. Thank you for sharing!
Ha! Abby so has the oh no mom not another blog picture on her face in the first one! But the end result sure was cute! I hadn't seen a footprint witch before, love the idea!
Love the witches, and all the crafts strung up across the back door!
