Make an adorable Footprint Christmas Tree card for someone special this Christmas.
These footprint Christmas tree cards are lovely for children of any age to make, but I think they are extra special when they are for a babies first Christmas. Toddlers and preschoolers would enjoy making and decorating their own Christmas tree footprint too and they make a great keepsake to be treasured by family forever.

Footprint Christmas Tree - Directions
Start by making some footprints using green paint (with a bit of glitter mixed in for extra sparkle). I made these cards with Daisy (4 months old) and as much as she grinned away while I painted her feet she didn't want to stay still! I had lots of attempts before ending up with a few prints that I was happy with. I found that the best way of getting a good print was to lay Daisy on her changing mat, hold her painted foot in the air and then come from above with the paper I was printing onto. We did still end up with a lot of smudged footprints though!
Toddlers and preschoolers will love decorating their own footprint trees. They could use sequins, pom poms or stickers to decorate their tree and I can guarantee each would end up completely individual. Painting on the footprint Christmas trees using painty fingerprints could be fun too!
Once complete stick the trees onto a piece of red card to make them look extra Christmassy. Then all you have left to do is decide who to give your beautiful cards to.
