How to make a mummy footprint craft wrapped with yarn

What you need:

Black cardboard
White paint
Paintbrush
Drag
White wool
Tape
Googly Eyes
Glue

Step by step instructions

Have your child paint their feet white – you can either have them dip their feet in the paint or use a paintbrush to brush it over the surface of their feet (this can be ticklish).

Ask them to press their foot down on the black card to leave a white footprint.

Ask them to cut out footprints.

Stick two wobbly eyes on the footprint.

Turn the footprint upside down and use tape to secure the yarn.

Begin wrapping the yarn around the footprint, covering the entire footprint but loose enough that the footprint is still visible.

Once you are happy with the shape of your yarn wrapped mummy footprint craft, secure the end of the yarn with glue or create a footprint.

Done!
