Take a fun step into the world of the Dinosaurs with this footprint dinosaur craft that can be used for all ages in your daycare center! This craft is super simple to achieve. Start by painting the sole of your student’s foot. You will want to do just one foot at a time to avoid a mess. Once you have painted a good, even layer have the student step down onto the center of their paper. For babies, you can do the printing for them by adding a book behind the paper and pressing their foot onto it as they are laying down.
Don't forget to clean off that foot before moving on! Some baby wipes will do just the trick!
Next, repeat that same process with the other foot. Their big toe will line up right on top of their other big toe print to create a jaw line for their dinosaur. You will want to give the paint a few minutes to dry before moving on.
Now we are ready to add on the details of our dinosaur. Grab a wiggle eye and place it in the upper middle section of the top foot to add some life to the dinosaur. Let’s not forget to add his teeth! Add a line of teeth in a zigzag formation towards the heel of each foot to make a roaring dinosaur effect. You can also add to your dinosaur by writing words like “ROAR” or “T-Rex”! For older students, let them take their decorating to the next level by having them draw on a body for their dinosaur.
