Painting with little feet
All you need for this easy activity is a long roll of paper (ours is from Ikea) and paint (we use Tempera paint — I have a huge collection left over from my Kindergarten teaching days).
And of course you need some sweet little feet that are excited to get messy :)
My son loved this activity. Â He doesn’t love to get his hands messy with paint, so I didn’t know how this would turn out, but he loved it! Â We will do it a few more times before the cold weather sets in — we cleaned up in the yard with the hose.
I saw this idea at Fun at Home with Kids — thanks Asia for the great idea!
I made some droplets on the paper — I decided to make the colors in lines.
Then you let your little one run around!
He was in his underwear :)Â
He didn’t get anything but his feet “dirty” — he is very particular.
I kept adding colors as we went — and afterwards he played with the hose for about an hour.
ps – I wanted to make a note that, yes, my son’s feet and calves are rashy. Â He has eczema {which I wrote about here}. Â We have it “under control,” but at times, it is unsightly, and worse, itchy. Â We have taken steps to help this genetic condition: homebirth, no vaccines, Vanicream, no gluten, raw milk, but alas, we are not in control. Â It has taught me that only God knows and sees and ordains. Â And my children are His. Â xo

Yes, he was potty-trained a couple days after he turned three!! xo
