Mother’s Day Handprint & Footprint Superhero
Hi my crafty friends! Since Mother’s Day is just around the corner from now, I figured I should probably get my butt in gear and start sharing some DIY gift ideas on Glued To My Crafts, that kids can make on the fly!
Today’s post is actually piggy-backing off an idea I shared last year for Father’s Day {You Are My Superhero Canvas}
By taking that same concept and adding some “long blonde hair” to give it the look of a Super Mom – it became a great gift idea for Mother’s Day. And like always – it’s super easy, really inexpensive and sure to be treasured by the receiver!
So without further ado – here is how I pulled together this EASY Mother’s Day Footprint Superhero Canvas Gift Idea within minutes. Perfect for mothers, grandmas or even just a special lady in your child’s life. You can even use this simple craft idea to make cards or a special page for in a scrapbook. I just hope our idea sparks some creativity in your today!
Happy crafting {and gifting} my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished creations with us on Facebook or tag us on Instagram to see! #gluedtomycrafts

Directions:
Between each step – be sure to let the paint dry completely so colors don’t bleed and use the baby wipes to clean off excess paint from hands & feet.
* First things first – decide what colors you are going and squirt those craft paints on the small paper plate.
* Start by painting one of your child’s feet and pressing it down on the canvas to start the superhero design.
* Next to the footprint, now do a handprint for the “cape” of the supermom.
* Use the baby wipes to get most of the paint off their hands & feet but I highly suggest a quick trip to the sink as well!
* Once dry, start painting on embellishments to give it life {a head with lips, eyes and hair, as well as some arms coming from the footprint}
* To finish off the Mother’s Day Footprint Supermom Craft – simply add other embellishments you see fit {like scrapbook stickers, glitter etc.}
* Then display proudly or gift away!
