Footprint Fun

Why

Use your hand to make footprints! There are no smelly feet—and no mess—with Crayola® Color Wonder™ Fingerpaints.


Steps

1. Footprints are fun! Here’s a cool way to make themwithout taking your socks off!

2. Make a fist with your hand. Use a finger from your other hand to coat the outside edge of your fist (the side with your pinky) with Crayola Color Wonder Fingerpaint.

3. Press your painted fist on the Color Wonder Paper. The shape you made looks just like a foot!

4. Add a big toe and 4 smaller toes with your fingertips. Use the same colors, or different ones. Just wipe your hand on a paper towel before you change colors.

5. Make a whole collection of "footprints" (left and right), just like you’d see in the sand at the beach. Air-dry your footprints.
