Looking for a fun (and maybe messy) Christmas art project? My girls giggled their way through this one, and we loved the finished project. You’ll need:
- green paint
- red or some other color paint for the toes
- brown paint
- yellow paint
- star stamp (or just hand draw one like we did)
- paper towels (maybe a throw cloth)
- white paper
Have child take off socks. Put a towel down if you don’t want to drip paint on the floor. Paint the bottom of their feet – green for most of the foot and a different color for their toes. You could just put some green paint on a paper plate and have your child step in it, but it’s so much fun to paint a foot and have contrasting toes. Be ready for giggles and wiggles.
Press foot at an angle on a the white paper. Paint second foot and match up heels when you press it down at the opposite angle.
Finally, add a trunk and star on top! Wash all feet (and be warned that even washable paint sometimes stains skin for more than one washing) and enjoy your masterpiece!
