Does anyone out there know how to make those butterflies out of the bottom of you child's feet?

Question

I have seen them before I just wanted to look at one so I could do one for my little girl.

Butterfly Footprints

What You Need

Large White Paper

Paint

Markers, Glitter, or Other Decorating Materials

What You Do:

Put the Children's footprints on the paper (separated to make wings of a butterfly) Then (after they have dried) let the kids design their own unique butterfly

Feet Aflutter

Step right into a tactile experience that results in a collection of one-of-a-kind butterflies. To make one butterfly, have each student step into a shallow pan of tempera paint with one bare foot and then press that paint covered foot onto a sheet of construction paper. Repeat the process with the other foot as shown. When the footprints dry, cut loosely around them. Then cut out a construction paper butterfly body and glue it between the two footprints. (If your youngsters' abilities permit, this is a great time to talk about left and right--and backwards!) For a colorful spring display, mount the completed butterflies around a construction paper tree.
