This morning we received a box full of Easter goodies for the children, from my aunt. It was full to the brim of activities, treats and chocolate, so they were delighted! I felt that it called for a nice, personal thank you card, which Boo was more than happy to get involved with (Little Man was napping, so the coast was clear!)
We used:
1 Piece of White Paper
A Splodge of Yellow Paint
1 Paintbrush
1 Googly Eye
A Dab of Glue
1 Orange Felt Tip
1 Foot!
We started by folding the piece of paper in half, and then popping the yellow paint onto a paper plate. I prepared the area by grabbing a bit of scrap cardboard and wipes ready to have the painted wet foot after it had done it’s job!
She then popped her foot in the yellow paint and stood on the paper, so that we had this…
Boo then added a few lines to the chick’s back for wings..
We then left it to dry for an hour or so, and then glued on a googly eye and added legs and a beak…
And there we have it! Hope my aunt likes it 🙂
That’s so cute! My whole Bloglovin is full of Easter crafty loveliness. I have no idea how anyone thinks of these ideas. Lovely! x
Thank you 🙂 She used her foot for her Rudolph Christmas card at nursery, so this idea came very easily! x
