Top Tips for making a hand and foot print alphabet.
- Get organised – this will save a lot of time. I jumped straight in and ended up painting Griffins foot brown 3 times when once would have done.
- Before you start make a list of all of the “items” that will make up your alphabet.
- Assign either hand or foot to each item.
- Assign a main colour to each item.
- Be conscious of phonics – I originally had “i is for ice cream” which is not phonic.
- Four legged animals are your friend.
- Add detail sparingly. I mostly just added small details with a Sharpie.
- If your child is young use distraction tactics occupy them whilst you paint and print.
- Don’t lay paint on too thick – it is just more paint to smudge.
- If all else fails a sleeping baby is a cooperative baby 😉
