Recently my son and I made this “Monster Truck” canvas keepsake to place in his room {because he is a HUGE Monster Jam fan} but I could see this DIY being gifted to someone who LOVES trucks, cars etc.
Honestly, I think this craft idea would be perfect as a DIY present for Father’s Day – hint hint!

DIRECTIONS:
- To recreate your own Footprint Monster Truck, all you need to do is paint the bottom of your child’s choice of foot {left or right} in any color THEY like and press it in the center of the blank, white canvas.
- Be sure to remove paint of their feet with a few baby wipes and soap/water afterwards.
- Now you have the start of the truck. From there, children are going to paint {or draw} on their version of what they want their monster truck embellishments to look like. Have them start with big tires on the bottom and build from there. They can add lights, windows… maybe even add a flag on the back!
- We also added some scenery like clouds, dirt under the truck etc. to really tie it all together and set the scene.
- Then when they are done decorating it, set it aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly for all to see!
