Another product of last weeks ill children was some foot art!
I had seen a canvas on pintrest of butterflies painted with footprints and decided to do something similar, before long Big E will have size 11 feet and tower over me so I need to preserve the memories of him as a small person!
I put some kids paints into takeaway containers and got the kids to stand in them then sit down as I pressed their feet against the canvas, no photos as it was far too messy! I did it in the bathroom and plonked them straight in the bath after and hosed off their feet.
Little e did the foot prints willingly but Big E was a little reluctant! He has a very sensitive gag reflex and paint is enough to trigger it (as is soap, blowing his nose, custard, poo smells....don't get me started ...it is surely not normal to be sick in the sink because of the smell of your own poo...too much info I know!)! After he saw his wee sis doing it though, he decided to go for it, so with a lot of deep breathing, and gagging, it was done!
I added the felt flowers and the butterfly bodies and that was it.
A new piece of art for the wall!
Linking up to these fab linky parties.
