Foot art advice please

[Inspired by Reggio]

When I am doing it INSIDE I always do a foot craft ONE AT A TIME .... so the others can either sit and watch or go play ... I also do the 'foot soak bath' beside where we are working cause I cannot lift children up to the sink it would kill my back!

I agree that footprint art inside is time consuming and I personally only do them as a GIFT for the parent ... aka on a canvas, tshirt, apron or something that is meant to be saved and cherished to make the time and effort worth while ... if it is something on a piece of paper that is just going to get 'thrown out' I would not bother with the 'foot print'

In the summer months we do 'footprint painting for fun' outside on large pieces of easel roll paper and they can hose their own feet off out there and put their sandals back on and so forth ... than there is very little work for me cause the 'mess' can get hosed away at the end of the day
