Reindeer Footprint Craft
An adorable Christmas craft for toddlers. Create a Christmas reindeer using footprints!
Cost: $
Equipment
- Printer (I printed at my local office supply store)
Materials
- Printed reindeer antlers (best on cardstock paper)
tempera paint (green and/or red) - Paint brush or sponge
- Scissors
Instructions
- Print the reindeer printable in color. Cardstock is best because it is sturdy and the paint won’t go through the paper.
- Paint the bottom of your toddler or baby’s foot. Make sure to cover the entire foot, heel, and toes.
- Press the foot onto the paper right below the antlers. See above image for placement recommendation.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the next paint color.
- Use the paint brush and your fingertips to touch up the footprint, if needed.
- Allow to dry overnight.
- Cut along the dotted line to cut out the completed craft.
- Place the completed reindeer footprint craft in an 8×10 frame and put it on display!
Notes
-Make sure to use tempera paint because it can wash off easily and is safe for kids.
-I put my toddler in the high chair so he couldn’t run away with paint on his feet. This also made it easier to press the foot onto the paper in the correct position.
-Tell your toddler to relax their toes as you press their foot onto the paper so the toe prints come out clearly.
