This is a great idea! I've been trying to figure out how the heck I am going

to pull this off with my 26 month old. I'm going to give this a try!

Great suggestion Daiga!! You can use an ink pad if necessary, the prints

just wont be as bright. I know it is quite challenging for many active

little ones, mine included!!

Re: ,Having a hard time trying to make

Thanks Daiga! I will try putting Becky in her booster seat and see

if that works. The thing is the minute the paint touches the bottom

of her foot she is screaming bloody murder It could have

more to do with the fact that she is 2 1/2 than the clubfoot though.

LOL

Thanks again!

Daiga,

Thanks for the advice, you're so practical! We tried yesterday (two

adults) end result was that thought it was a great game, and all

three of us and the kitchen floor were covered with paint. He has no

problem with the paint on his feet, but he really wants to take part in

the fun! And he's so strong that it was impossible to hold him down. We

have about 8 pieces of paper with variations of smudged footprints and

blobs of paint, nothing that can be used. We will make the second

attempt today with your tips!

Re: ,Having a hard time trying to make

footprints for the quilt

Here's what I did...might help someone who's having trouble!

I put Owen in his highchair and gave him some 'munchies' to keep him

occupied. I attached my sheet of paper to a clipboard so that I'd

have a hard surface to get his prints.

I used the liquid tempera paint (the kind most schools use) spread

out on to a paper plate. After a few tries, I found that if you let

it sit a bit, it starts to get 'sticky' as it dries out....that's

when you want to use it! I used a broad paint brush to paint the

foot...held it out 'to dry' for about a minute and then did the

print. I had a little margarine tub filled with warm water and a

wash cloth so that I could clean up his foot before I moved on to the

next one.

Hope this helps someone!
