I made a Footprint Zebra Magnet with my son to match the Handprint Magnets we also made. Since the handprint ones are green, I chose to put the footprint zebra on green paper. I painted the heel of his foot and the middle 3 toes black and filled in the remaining areas with white paint. When it finished drying, I painted on the zebra stripes, the eyes, & the black part of the ears. When it was completely dry, I cut it out and glued it to a thin piece of cardboard to make it sturdier. You can either use a laminater if you have one or use clear contact paper to laminate it. To finish, I took the magnetic piece off of a magnet that my son had ruined and hot glued it to the back of the footprint. Another idea would be to use those thin, rectangle magnets that advertise businesses- you usually throw them in the garbage anyway!
