The Foot Book

Another Dr. Seuss classic. 

 I saw several ideas for painting feet online, but none of them really popped out at me.  Last year we made a family foot book (one page was Daddy's footprint, one page was Mommy's, one was Kayla's and one was Elise's--little Ava wasn't out of the womb yet).

This year, a different idea came to me.  One that I plan to frame and put up in the girls' room.  Foot print letters!  You'll see, it's super fun and ridiculously cute.

All you need is:

Paint
Construction paper
Paint brushes
towels to clean off those painted feet!

We did a few different footprints which is why the paint in this picture is pink but the paint on the project is black...

Anyway, take the cute little feet and paint them with the paintbrush (it tickles so you'll get some glorious little child giggles in the process).  Carefully stamp the footprint on the paper.  Notice that we slanted some of the footprints depending on the letter we were going for.

Then it's Mom (or Dad's) turn to add the rest.  Use a smaller paintbrush to make the footprint into the first letter of each child's name and add the other letters alongside.

Read Dr. Seuss' The Foot Book together, add a frame to the picture, and voila!  Learning, book connections, room decorations, and memories!
