How To Make Footprint Butterflies

Supplies You'll Need:

Paint

Canvas

Marker

Take a paint brush and paint the bottom of your child's foot. You can make it one solid color or you can print blotches of different colors. Press it down on the canvas. Repeat with the other foot. But make sure that the feet are together by the outside of the foot. Use the marker to draw a body, head and antennae.

First, cut a leaf shape out of the green piece of paper. Have your child color the bottle caps the colors they chose. Pour a bit of glue onto a scrap paper and have your child dip the cap into the glue then stick the caps onto the leaf in a line. Glue eyes and a pipe cleaner smile onto the first cap.

Salt Dough Tutorial {Total Cuteness}

This is the very first craft that I've made off of pinterest.com. It's a salt dough mold that you can press your child's feet and hands into to make wall hangings or paper weights or whatever else you can think of. :)


I made one for Aubree's nana that looked like her feet were in the shape of a heart. I also made one for me that's just her hand and foot.


The recipe is:
2 cups regular flour
1 cup salt
Add water as you go


Pour salt and flour into a mixing bowl and slowly add water as you stir. When it is all mixed together kneed it until it isnt sticky anymore. (Mine kept getting sticky so I added flour to it). Roll it out to about half and inch thick and press hands and feet into it. Bake at 200 for 2-3 hours or until it's hard.


Mine is still a little soft but it isn't soft enough to fall apart. 
This is a great project to do with the kids for their grandparents birthdays or fathers day.
Enjoy :)
