King of My Heart – Lion Footprint Keepsake

King of My Heart - Lion Footprint Keepsake

Footprint Lion Keepsake Canvas

The countdown to Father’s Day officially begins and I have another kid friendly craft that is super simple for kids to make for their beloved dad!

I personally LOVE the idea of little ones gifting their family members a handprint and/or footprint keepsake. It’s just a classic gift that anyone and everyone will treasure for years to come.

Every mother, father, grandparent or even close friend, will love the gesture of it and it’s just a great way to freeze a moment in time {cause you know you will miss those sticky handprints on the walls one day!} Best of all – you don’t have to spend a ton of money to create a one-of-a-kind piece and it doesn’t take much time either!

So now let’s get down to the real feature of this post. Today I want to share this simple King of My Heart – Lion Footprint Keepsake that is perfect for children to gift to good ole’ dad, as they honor HIM this upcoming holiday! you could even FRAME it for safe-keeping for years to come.

Find all the simple directions below. Happy crafting {and gifting} my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures with us of your child’s creations! You can find us on Facebook or tag us on Instagram. It’s makes my day to hear from you!! #gluedtomycrafts
