Stopping by with another SIZZLIN’ hot kid craft idea that children can make for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or honestly – ANY day of the year!!! There are no real rules when it comes to this Footprint Car Card idea!

Inspired by my son’s love of cars {seriously – he’s all boy!} this “Driving By To Say…” card came to life with ease!

You can easily write anything inside the card {driving by to say hi, happy birthday, I love you etc.” and the lucky receiver is sure to LOVE it!

Craft Supplies:

Cardstock Paper
Washable Craft Paint
Paint Brushes
Small Paper Plate
Baby Wipes or Soap & Water
Markers/Scrapbook Stickers
Glue Stick
Paper Scissors

Directions:

First squirt some paint on your paper plate. Dip the paint brush in the paint.
Working quickly – paint the bottom of your child’s foot.
Now press their painted foot down, in the center of a white piece of cardstock. Make sure you wiggle each toe so the paint really transfer onto the paper.
Next carefully lift up their foot and use baby wipes to clean off the excess paint off. A quick trip to the tub is always a good choice!
Now you are ready to give the painted footprint design the look of a car.
Use craft paint {or Sharpie markers} to draw on a roof, wheels, lights etc.
Once done, set aside to let it dry completely.
To finish off the Race Car Footprint Card, trim around the finished footprint car and glue it to the front of a cardstock card.
Add embellishments around it to say “driving by…” and write inside to finish your message.
Then place in an envelope and mail away!!!
