Follow You, Shoe

This project is a shoe-in for fostering family ties. Children walk away with a leg up on fine-motor skills and shape awareness.

1. With a Crayola® Washable Marker, trace each family member's shoe on paper. Decorate the shoes with markers and Crayola Glitter Glue. Use patterns and designs to fit the personality of the shoes' owners. Dry.

2. Cut out the shoes with Crayola Scissors. Use a Crayola Glue Stick to attach them in an interesting pattern on poster board.

3. Play a game to figure out which shoe print matches which family member. Or make double shoe prints and keep one for a match-up game.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

"Tent mates created Follow You, Shoe to get to know each other."
Zach E., overnight camp counselor.

"The kids took lots of shoes and boots from the closet and created a really intricate game to play with their parents."
Chelsie T., teen-age babysitter.

During the Middle Ages fashionable men wore long, pointy shoes called poulaines. Some shoes were 2 feet (61 cm) in length. Men tied the tips to their knees with strings to keep from tripping.
