Make Chicks With Your Bare Feet

The following is supposed to be an activity for 4 to 8 year-olds, but I think with the right attitude (and perhaps an adult beverage or two) grownups could have fun with this too.

What you need:

  1. Yellow paint
  2. Wash tub/bucket big enough for your foot
  3. Construction paper
  4. Colored Pens / Pencils

What you do:

  1. Get some construction paper and put it on the floor
  2. Dip your (bare) foot in the yellow paint and step on the construction paper to make a footprint.
  3. The heel is the chick’s “head”
  4. Let the paint dry and draw in a beak, legs, etc. to make the footprint look like a baby chicken.
  5. Pin the finished work to your wall, bulletin board, refrigerator, etc. to show your kids that you’re at least as creative as they are.
