Trick or treat smell my feet !!!!!! A Halloween   Timestamp craft. great for grandparents!!!!!!!

Good morning all,  I wanted to share with you a awesome little Halloween craft that I found on pintrest! I added some stuff to it and did the candy corn different but the general idea came from pintrest. 

So what you do is : get you supply's together you'll need paper, 4 paint brushes or 3 foam brushes and 1 small paint brush for writing names and dates ! You will also need white, yellow and orange paint. (if you don't have orange paint you can make it by doing 1 part red to 3 parts yellow. )

 

After everything is ready call one child over and have them sit on the kitchen table facing you. Convince them to let you paint a foot and let them choose which foot you paint. (my kids did not get 2 choose because I had to smash 4 feet on the page lol)

Next place the paper on a chair under the child and help them carefully place their foot onto the paper. Be careful to hold their foot and do all the moving for them. Once their foot is on the paper gently press down on the top of their foot and then quickly pull the foot off of the paper holding foot and child to prevent falling off the table in the tada action. It helps if you can have someone else help with holding the paper.

 

Tips and mistakes that I learned:

 

1. Make sure when putting the foot to paper you hold the child that the foot is attached to because they tend to slide a little bit because their legs are not long enough to reach the paper and stay seated on the table .

2. Keep paint far away when painting your child's foot they tend to get super excited which can lead to paint a flying......

3. DONT GET UPSET if the foot print is not perfect, this is supposed to be a great moment and as moms we want it to be perfect but you see it is perfect even in its imperfect way.

4. have fun ...

 

happy painting
