How to turn you child’s footprint into a fun piece of art

Let the kids give the bathroom their stamp of approval with this cute kiddie art project – it’s so easy!

• A piece of white paper
• Paint tray
• Paint roller
• Paintbrush
• Water-based paint in yellow, orange and green
• Permanent marker
• 300 x 400mm picture frame with mounting board at 200 x 300mm (sufficient for an A4 page)

Step 1

Add the yellow paint to the paint tray and spread it evenly with your roller.

Step 2

Ask your little one to step into the paint and make sure you have got enough paint on his or her foot to make a clear print on the white paper. This might take a few tries but is loads of fun.

Top Tip: Lots of children have ticklish feet. That’s why it’s easier to dip a foot into
the paint than to paint it with a brush.

Step 3

Press your child’s foot onto the white piece of paper. This will create the body of the duck shape with the toes as the tail feathers.

Step 4

Paint the duck’s head (using brush or fingers!) on top of the heel of the footprint.

Step 5

Now dip an index finger in the orange paint and press it down on the front end of the head to make a beak.

Step 6

Dip the other index finger in green paint and stamp down as a dot to create the duck’s eye.
