Charlie Brown Inspired Footprint Crafts

Posted by Pinparent — 1 Comment

I have had Charlie Brown on the mind a lot these past few weeks. Charlie & the rest of the Peanuts Gang have a new movie coming out next month. It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown was on last night & my husband & I just had our Halloween costumes delivered. That is right, this year my hubby & I are dressing up like Charlie Brown & Lucy. We had wanted Mai to be Snoopy with us, but she was very insistent that this year she was going to be a witch princess.

I love Chuck & the gang & as I told you just a couple of days ago when I made the Dr. Seuss inspired footprint crafts, I seem to be seeing everything as feet these days. I decided to sneak in one more footprint craft for the week.

Charlie Brown & Lucy inspired footprints

For Charlie, paint your child’s heel in pale peach. Paint their toes in brown & the rest of the foot in yellow with one black stripe running across the foot near the toes. Press it onto a piece of paper & let the paint dry. Dot on an ear with the peach color. Use a black Sharpie or marker to draw in the face & the zig zag of Charlie’s shirt.

For Lucy, paint the heel in light peach again. Paint another strip of the pale peach across the portion of the foot right under the toes & then paint the rest in blue. Press onto a piece of paper & let the paint dry. Add a dab of peach for the ear. Use a black Sharpie or marker to draw in the face, hair & details of the dress to finish her off.

Stay tuned for pictures of me & my husband as Charlie Brown & Lucy after Halloween.

‘What Pet Should I Get’ Inspired Footprint Crafts

Posted by Pinparent — 1 Comment

*This post contains affiliate links*

My daughter loves books. She can not read yet, but she does know most of her books by heart. She can just as easily recite them to me, as have me read them to her. She has quite a long list of favorites & many of those favorites are Dr. Seuss books. When I heard that they discovered & released a new Dr. Seuss book I was so excited. I ordered one right away.
<br />

The day that I received it, I waited until my daughter’s bedtime before reading it. It did not disappoint. Mai adored it just as she did with the books before it. That evening she made me read it 3 times.

We had been doing a lot of footprint crafts lately. We made animals from A – Z, some Halloween inspired feet & we experimented with famous works of art. We have made so many that I have started seeing feet everywhere. As I was reading Jay & Kay’s adventures in the pet store to my daughter for the 100th time the other night, I actually started seeing some of the creatures as footprint art in my head. I might have a problem.

I think you already know where I am going with this. Here are a few footprint crafts inspired by the book.

Seuss Inspired Cat

I painted my daughter’s foot in yellow & pressed it onto a piece of paper. I used the same paint to paint in a tail & ears & the added a red bow around its neck. I dabbed on two spots of white for the eyes & then let everything dry. I used a Sharpie to draw in the lines for the details.

Seuss Inspired Dog

These are all pretty similarly made. The same as above, I painted my daughter’s foot in brown & pressed it onto a piece of paper. I painted in a tail & his snout. I dabbed on one eye & painted in a collar. I let it dry and then drew in the finishing details.

Seuss Inspired Bird

I painted my daughter’s heel in yellow and the rest of her foot in green & then pressed it onto a piece of paper. I painted in a beak with the yellow & head feathers in green. I let it dry & drew in the rest of the details.

From what I understand there are plans to release more books from this collection of works that they have found. I cannot wait.

Footprint Crafts R, S, & T

Posted by Pinparent — 2 Comments

We are getting into the home stretch with our footprint animal crafts from A-Z. Yesterday we were able to make crafts for the letters R, S, & T. As always we start with a painted foot.

R Is For Raccoon

Mai insisted that she could paint her own feet last night. So we let her paint her own feet first.

For the raccoon, paint white down the center of the foot & paint the outside in gray. Press onto a piece of paper.

Paint in the ears & tail in gray.

Paint in the raccoon mask & add black stripes to the tail & the center for the ears.

Paint in or use a magic marker to add the eyeballs, mouth & whiskers.

S Is For Skunk

Paint the foot much in the same manner as above, only use black instead of gray.

Paint in the tail, ears & top tuft of hair.

Finish off your craft by painting or drawing in the face with markers. Add small arms to complete your skunk.

T Is For Turkey

Our daughter did actually paint her foot for this craft with very minimal help.

Dot on the whites of the eyes, beak, hind feathers & the wattle.

Paint in the feather details & paint in wings & feet to complete.

Footprint Crafts I-K

Posted by Pinparent — 5 Comments

Mai & I have been having so much fun working our way through the alphabet with our A-Z animal footprint crafts. She has lovingly coined them “stinky foot crafts”. Our latest batch of stinky foot crafts are from I-K.

I is for Iguana

As with all of our footprint crafts, it all begins with a footprint.

Paint your child’s foot & press it on to a piece of paper.

Dab on a white spot for the eye & paint in the iguana’s spikes.

Paint in the tail & feet.

Finish it off by adding in the face & painting stripes on the tail.

J is for Jaguar

Paint your child’s foot in yellow & press onto a piece of paper on a slant. Paint in the ears, legs & tail. Dab on two white circles for the eyes. Dab more white onto the bottom of the legs for feet. Paint in the jaw & outline the underside of the jaguar with white. Dab on light brown spots & let them dry. Outline the spots in black marker & mark the inside to form the rosettes. Finish the face to complete.

K is for Kangaroo

Paint your child’s foot in brown & press onto a piece of paper on a slant. Paint in the ears, tail, arms & legs. Add two dabs of white for the eyes & paint the underside of the foot in white. Let dry & draw in the facial details with a marker & color in the middle of the ears. Paint in a line to form the kangaroo’s pouch.

Footprint crafts F – H

Posted by Pinparent — 1 Comment

We are cruising through our footprint crafts from A-Z. Last night & this morning we were able to do our footprints for the letters “F” – “H” . We chose to do a fox for the “F” & a goat for the “G” & a hen for “H”.

As with all of our footprint crafts it just starts with a footprint.

Footprint Fox

Paint your child’s foot in brown or red.

Press in onto a piece of paper.

Use the paint to paint a tail on & add a tip in a lighter shade.

Paint in the ears.

Paint in the eyes & the inside of the ears. Paint in fur on the face & stomach.

Paint in the eyeballs, nose, mouth & remaining details with black paint.

We did the other two footprint crafts in the same fashion.

G is for Goat

Paint your child’s foot white & press onto a colored piece of paper. Paint on a head with ears & beard in white. Paint in the legs & tail in white as well. Paint in the horns using light brown paint & add a collar with a bell. When the paint dries, draw in the face & hooves with a black marker.

H is for Hen

Paint your child’s foot in red at the heel & brown on the rest. Paint the hen’s crown, wattle & wing in red. Paint the rear tail feathers in brown. Dab on white paint for the eyes. Paint in the beak & feet in yellow. Let the paint dry & add in the facial details &wing feathers with a black marker.

Footprint Crafts C – E

Posted by Pinparent — 1 Comment

We are continuing with our footprint crafts A-Z. Last night we were at letter C. We named off a few words that started with the “C” & chose to make a cow craft.

As always we painted my daughter’s cute little foot. We painted it white with black spots & then pressed it onto a piece of green construction paper.

I realized that I had forgotten to make the snout & mouth portion in peach, so I painted the heel & then painted in ears.

I painted in the nostrils & mouth.

We finished off our cute little cow by adding in horns & eyes.

When we finished, Mai held up her other foot & asked me to paint that one too, so we moved on to letter “D”.

D is for dolphin. For this craft, paint the foot in gray & then out line the side of your foot in white for the belly. Add in the fins & tail and give your dolphin an eye. Paint in waves & splashes for your background.

We were feeling ambitious & pushed for one more craft. E is for elk. This is a simple footprint craft. Paint your child’s foot brown, press it into a piece of paper. Paint in ears, antlers, eyes & the mouth and nose.

We love footprint crafts in our house. About 6 weeks ago we embarked on a journey through footprint animals crafts from A – Z. The intent is to make a collage of all of the animal footprints from A – Z & hang them in our daughter’s new playroom in our new home. It was a fun project. I hope you enjoy it too.
