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 😀

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!

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 😀

Anyway, no guessing to which side I’m at as that is what we are doing today 😛

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.
