Essentials for Printable Projects

• We love using this Canon Wireless Printer for perfect printing every time.
• These duotang folders are ideal for creating activity books.
• This Scotch Thermal Laminator is the one we use and it works great.
• These stackable storage containers are awesome for keeping everything organized.

How to Use This Footprint Template

1. Simply print the footprint art template onto 8.5 x 11 paper. Use white cardstock for a more durable project.
2. Next, use acrylic paint and a paintbrush to paint the child’s foot green.
3. Press their painted foot onto the paper in the marked spot to form the alligator.
4. Finally, allow the paint to dry and then display the finished art piece or add it to a scrapbook.

Fun Ways to Use Activity Printables

• Create a coloring and activity book.
• Paint the printable, frame it, and give it to a friend.
• Complete the activities solo or with family.
• Print the activity sheets and laminate them so that they can be reused.
• Use them as a fun activity at your next party or event.
• Add them to your party games or busy bag.

Tips and Tricks

• For toddlers, paint just half the foot to reduce squirmy tickle time.
• Let your child help decorate the alligator with markers, stickers, or googly eyes after it dries.
• Keep a towel under the painting area to help contain the mess.
• Store leftover templates in a labeled duotang folder for quick rainy day activities.
• Use painter’s tape to hold the template down while stamping little feet to avoid smudges.
• Write the child’s name and the date on the back. It makes a sweet keepsake.
• Laminate the dry footprint craft and use it in an alphabet letter wall display.
• Add to a themed “letter of the week” homeschool curriculum.
