Make some magical memories with the little ones this weekend! Give your kids a fun and creative craft project to do by creating a keepsake that is inspired by a sunny day at the beach!
This footprints in the sand painted keepsake beach craft is a beautiful way to remember a special moment in time! I hope you recreate your own version today! Happy crafting, my friends!
Craft Supplies:
- Large Blank Canvas
- Blue Craft Paint
- Brown Craft Paint
- Ivory Craft Paint
- Foam Paint Brushes
- Small Paper Plate
- Baby Wipes
- Large Scrapbook Stickers
Directions:
- First you want to squirt ALL your colors of craft paints on the small paper plate.
- Go ahead and start painting the base of your beach scene on the canvas. Paint some sand, the water, sun etc.
- When done, set aside the painted canvas to let it dry completely.
- Once you are ready for the footprints, squirt some “ivory” colored paint on a paper plate.
- One by one, paint the bottom of your child’s foot completely and press it on the canvas where you like.
- Remove excess paint off their feet with the baby wipes and a quick trip to the tub.
- To finish off the Footprints in the Sand Canvas – add other embellishments you see fit {like drawing in more sand/water/a palm tree} and add scrapbook letter stickers to really tie it all together. I did “Tampa 2017” since that is currently where we live and the year but you are more than welcome to do whatever you like!
- Then display proudly for ALL to see!

Remember this craft idea is also perfect to include the WHOLE FAMILY in! Get a really BIG canvas and then add EVERYONE’S footprints in the “sand.” This could be a great way to mark a special vacation or dreams for the year!
