Fun Footprints
Materials:
- shoes
- marker(s)
- scissors
- colored contact paper
- carpeted floor
Directions:
- Trace the bottom of a pair of shoes on colored contact paper.
- Make as many pairs of footprints as desired.
- Cut out the footprint pairs.
- Stick the footprints in a trail across the carpet to make a path to follow.
- (Choose surfaces that won't be damaged if sticking footprints on surfaces other than carpet.)
- Footprints can go up and down stairs, outdoors, or through climbing toys!
- Extension: Think of other kinds of prints to make, such as handprints, paw prints, or baby footprints!
- Variation: make this more challenging by hopping on one foot or stepping on every other footprint.
