Crafty-Crafted.com Craft for children and anything nice

Today’s footprint craft is a remake of our footprint popsicle we did back in 2011 with the elder brother.

The younger brother wanted to do it too but is too young to trace his own footprint and cut it out and got the big brother to help him out.

The little one is able to apply the glue onto the popsicle stick himself.

And paste the paper footprint on it.

He also wanted to EAT it! 😀

Watch this video of the boys making this footprint popsicle craft:

Christmas is just a month away so let us start making some Christmas art.

Footprint Christmas Tree Art

My toddler is too young to paint his own foot so the elder brother helped him with it. Make sure to have a damp cloth nearby so you can wipe the paint off your little kid’s foot or you’ll have a lot of mess to clean up later.

I helped to stamp his painted foot on a piece of paper and wipe clean his foot.

The elder brother proceeded to paint the other foot.

And I helped to stamp it next to the previous footprint.

The elder brother completed the artwork by painting a star at the top and some dots as the Christmas tree ornaments while the little boy played with the paintbrush.

As simple as that, our footprint Christmas tree art is ready 😀

Footprint Popsicle

Draw the outline of your foot

Cut it out and paste

Layer it with more footprints for a nicer effect 😀 Slurp!

My boy loves eating carrots. He says they are good for his eyes so when he heard that we are going to make a hand and footprint carrot today, he is very excited!

Mushrooms! We love mushrooms! Today we are going to make a footprint paper plate mushroom 😀

Footprint paper plate mushroom

Cut a paper plate to the shape of a mushroom top

Paint the paper plate red.

While waiting for the paper plate to dry, paint your foot white or brown.. 😀

Stamp your painted foot on a piece of coloured construction paper.

Back to the paper plate. Paint a coat of diluted PVA glue all over the plate. This acts as an adhesive to hold the cotton later on and also as a varnish. Read here to learn more about varnishing using PVA glue.

Paste cotton balls

Spread the remaining PVA glue at the back of the paper plate

Paste it onto the footprint and the mushroom is done! Served with a bowl of freshly cooked mushroom soup, YUMMY! 😀

Today we are going to blast off to the moon 😀

Footprint Rocket

Paint the foot any colours you like and the toes orange or any other colours that represents the flame of the rocket.

It should be something like shown above 🙂

Stamp the painted foot on a piece of paper.

Glue 3 triangles – 2 at the sides and 1 on top and the rocket is ready for blast-off!

He loves rockets! 😀

Watch this video to see how fun and ticklish it is to make this footprint rocket 🙂

We are enjoying the durian season here now. Durian is a very ‘subjective’ fruit. You either LIKE or HATE it! To those who loves it, you’ll find that it is very fragrant while those who hate it won’t even be able to bear the pungent smell 😀
