Footprint Love Bug Craft

I made this Valentine's Day Love Bug with my 13 month old's footprint. I embellished it with girly googly eyes, glitter, and foam stickers all in pinks, purples, gold, and red. The antennas are made from pipe cleaners.

Handprint Owl Valentine's Day Cards

We have been busy making Valentine's Day cards! I made handprint owl cards with my daughter - they didn't turn out as cute as I pictured in my head, but I do like the way the pink owl looks. I wrote cute owl sayings on each one. You can see even more adorable owl sayings on yesterday's post showing our thumbprint owl Valentine's Day cards we also made.

Have you made a Valentine's Day craft using handprint, footprints, or fingerprints? I would love for you to share it (either with a photo or a link if you blogged it) on the Handprint & Footprint Art Facebook Page!!!

Thumbprint Owl Valentine's Day Cards

Whooo doesn't love owls?! I couldn't resist making thumbprint owl Valentine's Day cards with my daughter. She loved making the thumbprints & was still making them even without the paint on her thumb! There are so many cute owl sayings that you can add; here are some ideas:

Owl always love you!

Owl love you forever!

Owl always be your friend!

Have a Hoot this Valentine's Day!

Whooo loves you?

You're a Hoot to be friends with!

Happy Valentine's Day from Owl of Us!

Handprint & Footprint Football Craft

My son's best friend came over during the Superbowl today and the kids made a handprint & footprint football craft. They also colored their own helmets which you can see on my Crafts-N-Things for Children blog.

My daughter's hand & footprint football

1 yr old

Here is how to make this craft:

1. Paint foot brown and press on brown paper.
2. Paint hands color of choice by squirting a drop of the paint in the palm and then rubbing the hands together. Paint any missed areas with a paintbrush.
3. Make one handprint on each side of the paper (we chose green paper to represent the field).
4. After everything dries, cut a football shape around the brown footprint.
5. Glue in the middle of the handprint so that it looks like they are catching the ball.
6. Cut strips of white paper and glue on so it looks like the footballs threads.
