This is a fun keepsake activity that requires only two materials - felt and a picture frame.

Like hand prints, footprints are fun to compare at different ages and stages of the family and its members.

This activity can be done at home as family project, or in an early learning classroom where preschoolers can display their footprints on a felt board!

Family keepsakes help us preserve memories of special times or events enjoyed together over the years.

This activity is so easy! The hardest part will be choosing the color of felt you would like to use for each family member's foot cutout.

  • Decide whether grownups will be represented in one color, kids in another; each family member in a different color; all members of the family in the same color felt.

Step 1. Trace one foot of each family member onto cardboard.

Since kids can be a bit wiggly, it's easier to make a cardboard template of each foot first.

Step 2. Cut out the templates.

Step 3. Trace the patterns onto pieces of felt.

Everyone in the family can be involved in the process, and the result is perfect for decorating a kid's bedroom or playroom!
