I'm thinking of picking up some canvasses today and having the dcks do these for their parents? Good idea? Or not.

Very cute! I think the parents would love them! -
They ARE cute but I did a couple foot print crafts last year and was surprised by the number of parents that were "turned off" by feet. I though maybe they were just kind of weird but I started asking parents in my son's Kindergarten class and my daughters dance group and found out that a lot of people have the same thoughts.
Even though it's their own child's foot, it's still feet.
One mom told me her provider did a footprint craft on a plate. Kind of like a cookie plate that you use at Christmas time or on special occasions and she was so grossed out by the thought of a foot on a plate that she just couldn't keep it.
Like I said, maybe it's just certain parents but its still something to think about.......Comment

I love them! Footprints are much easier to do than handprints too, for some kids. Seems like there's always one kid that smears his/her handprint every time

I love it! I do foot prints for almost every holiday, then I laminate them and send them home. One mom has a wall of her ds foot prints from
Us. I love it!!Comment

See...that's my problem too. I have 2 toddlers and 1 of them especially curls her fingers up and you go to put her hand to paper and she pushes it all over, it's a palm painting experience for her. I have a bit more control over their feet.
I guess I never thought about the grossness of using feet though. I suppose it might have a bit of a yuck factor if you turned it into a plate to use for food but for decoration, I don't understand why dcm would throw it away.Comment

I have this thing about feet. I find them gross and I would never on purpose touch other peoples feet, BUT kids feet are sweet and innocent and have never bothered me! I would think that if someone gave me a plate with my childs foot print on it, I would be saving it for decoration anyway. It's not like I would be eating out of the plate every night, kwim?See...that's my problem too.

I have a lot of young ones right now and a handprint is practically impossible! I do the foot prints while they are eating snack in the highchairs. It gets to the point that they see me with paint and move their feet so I can paint them

cute! I prefer to do feet for kids under 2 - much easier! Last year I did the "mistletoes" one for a parent and she gushed over it for a week!!! Love when you have families who appreciate your efforts! lovethisComment

we did the mistletoes craft last week, parents loved it! last year I did a canvas divided in 4, spring was handprints turned into flowers, summer-sideways hands turned into fish, fall- one brown handprint with fingerprint leaves and winter was a footprint snowman [I painted a blue oval and then did the footprint on top] all the parents raved and have it hanging in their homes.Comment

This is adorable! Agree that some people don't like feet, but baby and toddler feet are so precious!Comment

I had a dcm ask me this morning where I bought the canvas last year for these reindeer crafts that I did. She wants to make some for grandparents this year I used a rectangle canvas from Dollarama. The footprints were brown and the hand print antlers were a darker shade. Then we glued a red pompom for the nose. All the parents said they loved them....but maybe not?? haha Maybe my families are just too polite!

I need a good idea for a Christmas gift for the parents, but my kids would not be able to do that by themselves. Does anyone have any ideas for the 2 yr old crowd?Comment
