[For 0-year-olds] Footprint craft ideas: A collection of ideas tailored to seasons and occasions

Autumn: Squirrel

Handprint and Footprint Stamping Craft for Ages 0–2 [Autumn] [Nursery/Kindergarten]

Here’s an idea for making a squirrel using a footprint.

Paint the foot with brown paint and stamp it.

Since the heel will become the squirrel’s face, stamp with the heel at the top.

Next, draw the squirrel’s face on the heel area, and try drawing the tail starting a little below the middle.

Adding ears and hands will make it look even more like a squirrel.

You can collect everyone’s footprints to create a squirrel-themed wall display, or if you’re doing this as an autumn craft, you can use handprints as maple leaves and turn it into a single landscape.

It might also be cute to have the squirrel hold an acorn made from construction paper.

Footprint heart

[Valentine’s Craft] Perfect for taking home♪ A footprint heart gift [Ages 0–1] (ASMR-style video)

Let’s try making a heart by overlapping footprints.

First, prepare some backing paper and use red ink to take prints of both feet.

Since you want a heart shape, angle the feet and stamp them so the heels overlap.

It’s also fine to take the footprints separately and overlap them later.

Once you have a heart made from the footprints, cut it out with scissors and paste it onto heart-shaped backing paper.

Decorate the edges with stickers, put it in a clear bag, and tie it with a ribbon for a finish that looks just like a heart-shaped chocolate.

It’s a perfect idea for Valentine’s Day, and it would also make a lovely gift for parents or guardians.

Winter: Christmas tree

[Tarkov] All Locations of the Super Profitable Christmas Trees Introduced #EFT #Tarkov

Why not try making a Christmas tree using small handprints? For this craft, use two shades of green stamp ink.

The handprints will form the green part of the tree, so stamp about three prints slightly offset to create tiers.

Once the prints are done, cut them out and attach them to a trunk made from construction paper.

Finish by placing a star on top to complete the tree! If it looks a bit plain, adding decorations with finger stamps is also recommended.

You can also make a footprint reindeer or Santa Claus—give these lovely winter crafts a try.

[Winter] Footprint Demon

Here’s a craft idea for making footprint ogres before Setsubun.

First, take a footprint that will become the ogre.

Any color is fine, but since the ogre’s pants are yellow, choose a color that won’t overlap with that.

Once you have the footprint, paint yellow from the base of the toes toward the center of the foot to represent the ogre’s pants.

Draw the ogre’s face on the heel, and add patterns to the pants.

Finally, give the ogre a club, and your footprint ogre is complete! By turning the club into a sticker or using round stickers for the ogre’s cheeks, you can adapt it so even 0-year-olds can enjoy this activity.

[Summer] Goldfish Bowl

Footprint Craft Vol. 1! August/Summer Craft Book “Refreshing Goldfish Bowl” – For Infants 0–1 Year Old – [Nursery/Kindergarten]

Goldfish are a quintessential sign of summer, and kids love them! So let’s try making goldfish using footprints.

Since this activity is for 0-year-olds, adults should prepare the “fish tank” background in advance for sticking the goldfish on.

Let the children enjoy playing with paint using stamp pads or brushes, and stamp their footprints onto the base paper.

After cutting out the footprints with scissors, put double-sided tape on the back to make them into stickers, and have the children place them anywhere they like in the tank.

Use a few round stickers to represent bubbles.

Finally, add the fish’s eyes and fins, and attach a tissue-paper tail to finish.

It’s a wonderfully refreshing summer craft idea we highly recommend.

Spring: Cherry tree with blossoms

Handprint and Footprint Art: How to Make a Tree | Handprint Art to Capture Your Baby’s “Now” by petapeta-art

Perfect for spring! Here’s an idea for making a cherry blossom tree using handprints and footprints.

Place a sheet of white construction paper vertically, and using a light pink color, first stamp a handprint near the top.

Then stamp a footprint below it.

If you place the handprints closer to the center and the footprints angled outward as if supporting the handprints, you can create the look of cherry blossoms bursting into bloom.

Once the stamps are done, use masking tape to create the trunk, branches, and ground.

To add depth, it’s recommended to use several types of masking tape.

Finally, scatter cherry blossom petals around the handprints and footprints, and you’re done! The soft, pale colors are absolutely adorable.

[Autumn] Dragonfly

[Craft] Introducing Handprint and Footprint Activities [Nursery/Kindergarten]

A perfect autumn craft idea: making dragonflies using footprints.

These also work great as wall decorations.

First, take the children’s footprints.

Once the prints are completely dry, cut them out and attach the dragonfly’s eyes and wings that you’ve pre-cut from construction paper.

Be sure to attach the wings from the back of the footprint.

Draw the pupils inside the eyes with a pen, and it’s done.

If it looks a bit plain, have the children stick round stickers on the dragonfly’s wings.

Crumpled tissue paper would also be cute to add!
