Looking for a craft that could be used for all ages in your daycare center? This craft is perfect for you! With just paint, construction paper and chenille stems you can easily create this adorable craft with your students. That includes the babies too! Our 4 month old friend, Liam’s, feet are pictured above.
Start by painting the bottoms of your student’s feet. Then print them onto the construction paper. For students that can stand, you may find it easier to do one foot a time. This way they can stand on one foot while painting and printing the other. Be sure to clean that foot before moving on to the next one. Otherwise you may end up with footprints across your classroom floor!
Next, cut out each footprint in the shape of sandals. You will want to make sure that there is enough room between each foot when printing to cut around the footprints.
Allow the paint some time to dry and then it’s time to make the straps. You can do this by folding the chenille stem in half. The fold will go in between the big toe and second toe. The other side of each strand will go on each side of the middle of the foot. You can pre-punch holes before hand or use the metal center of the stems to puncture the paper and stick stems through.
You could always hot glue the chenille stems into place if you want to avoid making cuts in the footprints!
Now you have an adorable craft that can be done with all ages in your center.
