Directions:

First grab the FREE PEAR-fect printable that is listed above in the supply list.
Print it out in color on a single sheet of white cardstock paper {or any color you like but remember it needs to be a light shade.}
Grab your green craft paint and the small paper plate.
Squirt some green craft paint on the paper plate.
Dip the paint brush in the paint.
Now pick a foot – any foot will do for this craft.
Using the paint brush, paint the bottom of your child’s foot completely green and quickly press it in the center of the printable, right in the middle of the pear design. Be sure to wiggle each toe so the paint really transfers onto the paper.
When ready, gently lift up your child’s foot and clean off excess paint with a few baby wipes & a trip to the sink.
As for the baby’s prints keepsake, set it aside to let it dry completely.
Add other embellishments you see fit, as well as writing your child’s name {and age} in the blank provided spot.
Then display/gift proudly! By the way, this would make for a great baby gift for Mother’s Day!
OPTIONAL STEP – if your child isn’t up for their foot being painted, you can also use your baby’s hand instead!
