It’s been sometime since we last did a footprint art. Today, inspired by Handprint and Footprint Arts, let’s do a footprint bee 🙂
Footprint Bee
Paint your foot yellow. Unlike when he was younger, my boy finds it rather ticklish these days 😀
Stamp your painted foot onto a piece of paper.
Help your little one paint three black lines across the footprint.
Paint your finger tip white.
Print your fingertip on the bee as the eyes.
The almost completed footprint bee.
Help the little one paint the eye balls, wings and all and the bee is done 😀
Remember the Foam Insects Bookmark we did some time ago? We were redecorating our studio when I thought of doing it on a bigger scale this time.
Foam LadyBug Wall Decor
Draw a circle on a red piece of craft foam.
Draw the outline of the ladybug and cut.
Paste the wings onto the body.
Use a coin and draw the outline. Cut out ten as the spot for the wings. Use decorative stones for the eyes and you are done. Put some double layered tape at the back and paste it onto your wall 🙂
Accordion fold red packet butterfly
Cut the red packet as you'll need only a side and not both.
Fold it accordion style. You'll need to do two of this.
Pinch the middle and cut it into two different sizes.
Staple in the middle to secure it.
Spread the wings and your butterfly is done. Use a double sided tape to secure it onto your window panes or wall 🙂
If you have any butterfly ideas, do share it with us here and we’ll link it back to you 🙂
A Crafty-Crafted Friend's submission of refreshing fresh fruit skewers.
Craft submitted by Anney of http://blogniako.blogspot.com/
Anney was planning to arrange the fruit skewers into a terracotta pot but she saw this picket fence planter box and thought it was cute.
She used a floral foam for the base and embellished the planter box with vines and a ladybug.
She used cookie cutters to cut out the shapes.
Pretty.. just too pretty. Use lots of heart shapes for this coming Valentine's Day 🙂
Thank you Anney for sharing this food craft with us. You too can share your craft with us by simply submitting them here and we’ll link it back to you 🙂
Foam Bee Fridge Magnet / Note Holder
You'll need to use your imagination and cut out the shapes of your Bee out of coloured foams.
Glue them all together layer after layer and let dry. Your fridge magnet cum note holder is done 🙂

Finally, the people who made it possible that day. A million thankx go out to Kimmy and family, my parents and also my Darling husband for helping me out. I can't possibly make it without you guys. 😀
Kids just love to play with paint. Give them a brush and paint and just see them go.. Sometimes, with a little guide, we can help them create something nice. Here, we created a footprint butterfly.
Footprint butterfly.
Paint your foot to any colour you wish your butterfly to be. It may be ticklish to some..
Print your foot on a piece of paper.
Paint another foot and print it next to the initial print.
The wings are done.
Paint your finger with any colour to decorate the wings.
Just dot around the wings for added colour.
Have ideas on other art and crafts inspired from hand and footprint? Do share with us here. Thank you. 🙂
Remember the fingerprint bees we did not too long ago? Well, let’s develop it a little bit more and create a garden with butterflies and flowers.
Beautiful colourful fingerprint butterfly.
Paint your thumb with the colours of your choice.
Print it onto a paper as the butterfly's wings.
You may add in some flowers, leaves and the bees too.
Once it is all dried up, you will need to help the little ones decorate their garden a little bit using markers.
A beautiful fingerprint garden with butterflies, flowers and bees!

This chubby bee is very easy to do and looks so cute, all kids will love it!
You need to paint the back of one paper plate yellow.
And another paper plate black.
* Cut four stripes of black craft foam and paste onto the yellow paper plate.
* Cut the black paper plate into half and paste it at the back of the yellow plate as wings.
* Use pipe cleaner as the antennae and sting.
* Use googly eyes or stone as the eyes and you’re done!
Chub-bee!
