Cait Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Hmm yes. can't think of it at the mo - but there's no reason you shouldn't use the old favourite "Sit and put your feet up and have a cup of tea I'll get my favourite story book and snuggle on your knee" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 “Walk a little slower Daddy” said the child so small. “I’m following in your footsteps and I don’t want to fall. Sometimes your steps are very fast, Sometimes they’re hard to see; So walk a little slower, Daddy For you are leading me. Someday when I’m all grown up, You’re what I want to be; Then I will have a little child Who’ll want to follow me. And I would want to lead just right, And know that I was true; So walk a little slower, Daddy, For I must follow you.” We made cards with little footprints on them by clenching a fist, sponging paint onto the edge of the hand and printing (imagine the action of playing 'one potato, two potato' and you'll get my drift) then repeating with other hand to get pairs of footprints. Use the forefinger to paint on the little toes - so cute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I suspect because their 'plates of meat' are too big to get a pair on a card! I really like this poem and it reminds me of one we used (could be the same one) that a Mum spoilt for me a couple of years ago when she pointed out that she didn't want her little princess to be anything like her daddy! hmm, oh well, you can't please 'em all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I suspect because their 'plates of meat' are too big to get a pair on a card! Well that would explain it Cait - I think I'll use it for a laminated picture! Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Its really quite magical making little footprints tho, Maz. I first learnt it as a child... do you remember when you used to huff on the car window and draw little pictures?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I've done them this way too - it's fantastic to see little feet emerging from hands! We do it when a child has a new sibling, 'welcome to my new brother' or whatever, and when my son was born, my daughter and I sat doing them as birth announcement cards - we couldn't afford shop-bought, but everyone loved them and it involved her nicely too as she was just 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
