Footprint crafts are the best because they always result in lots of giggles while the paint is being applied to those cute little feet. While you are here be sure to check out the rest of our Footprint Crafts.
Kids of all ages can make this craft, little feet make little rockets, and big feet make big rockets. My little guy’s foot was so tiny when we made this. I can’t believe he was only one (now he is three)… time flies so fast, we must be having lots of fun!
What is Included in the Craft Template?
The free template includes pieces for the rocket, flames, a moon, and the words, “I Love you to the Moon and Back.” Children can decide what parts of the template they want to use to make their rocket craft all their own.
Can the Footprint Rocket craft be Made into a Card?
Yes, all you have to do is fold a piece of paper in half. Then the footprint rocket can be glued onto the front to make a keepsake card.

Supplies:
