- Next, pick a foot – any foot! Simply paint the bottom of your child’s foot completely pink and working quickly, press it down in the center of the white cardstock paper.
- After wiggling each toe, gently lift up their foot to reveal the print design on the paper.
- Clean off excess paint from their foot with a few baby wipes and a quick trip to the sink.
- Let the painted footprint design dry completely before moving on.
- To give the footprint the look of little piggies – simply draw on eyes, ears and piggie noses with your sharpie markers.
- Now trim out the front of the card and glue to a piece of cardstock, that is folded in half.
- To finish the card, add your scrapbook stickers to say “These Little Piggies…” on the front.
- Then add a special message inside and slip in an envelope for easy mailing!
