Today’s Christmas themed kid craft tutorial was actually a spur-of-the-moment idea and I’m so glad I took the time to create it with my son.

Since we are military, we live pretty far away from both our families, so footprint crafts like today’s idea are extra special to send to the grandparents {especially this time of year!} With kids growing so fast, it’s just a great way to remember those once tiny feet and keep loved ones connected at the same time!

So what are you waiting for? Grab your supplies and set up shop to make this Footprint Reindeer Card Keepsake to send to the grandparents today! Don’t forget to write a special message inside and of course – make one for yourself too & throw it in a scrapbook for safe keeping! Happy crafting this holiday season, my friends!!!

Supplies:

* White/Green Cardstock
* Brown Paint
* Paint Brush
* Brown/Black Sharpie
* Scissors
* Glue Stick
* Glue Dot
* Red Button
* Baby Wipes
* Paper Plate

Directions:

* Simply paint your child’s foot completely brown and press it on the white cardstock. Set aside to let it dry completely.
* To give the look of a reindeer – simply draw on some antlers & ears with the brown Sharpie, then glue on some white cardstock eyes and the iconic red nose.
* Now trim out the front of the card and glue to a piece of cardstock, that is folded in half.
* To finish the card, you can add scrapbook stickers or other embellishments to give it a personalized look {or go for a more simple look like we did!} Then add a special message inside and slip in an envelope for easy mailing.
