Fun By The Foot

Foot Painting


YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY!



  • Does it offer an educational experience? Yes
  • What does it teach? Colors, sensory, patterns, following directions, balance
  • Is it age (i.e., 2 - 3 year old) appropriate? Yes


What You’ll Need:

  • Long ream of thick white paper (you can tape together large pieces of paper, too)
  • Washable paint
  • Bucket of soapy water


Adult Prep Work:

  1. Lay out the paper (I scotch taped it to our hardwood floors)
  2. Squeeze out four colors of paint (two on each side)


What Your Child Will Do:

  1. Rub his/her bare feet in the paint and then walk or run up and down the paper (it gets pretty slippery so you will want to hold your child or set this up near a railing)
  2. Clean his/her feet in the soapy water


This is great fun on a rainy day & a nice child of pace from painting with hands!
