Footprint Tractor

Footprint Tractor

Posted 2014-06-10 by Janinefollow
A simple, somewhat messy but fun way to create your very own tractor! Create a picture for a Father's Day gift, or make a card for birthday, invitations or thank you notes!


Time: 10 minutes (plus drying time for paint)
Age: Under 5's
Level: Easy

Materials
  • Cardstock and/or construction paper
  • Paint
  • Paint brush or tray for paint
  • Wet rag
  • Black felt pen

  • Method
  • Prepare your cardstock. We made our tractors for Father's Day so I simply printed Happy Father's Day on the cards before we put on the footprint.


  • Paint a foot your desired colour.

  • The wet rag is handy to have on hand after the footprint goes on the paper

  • Make your footprint on the paper. We put the paper on the floor and directed the paint covered foot.
  • Let the paint dry and add wheels, cab, hitch, bumper or whatever you wish to have on your tractor.

  • We found round objects to use as tracers for our tires and added the bumps on after.


    Pasting on different coloured wheels gave the tractor a little more interest.

  • Add your own personal message and give to your favorite tractor lover!

  • The tractor is not complete without a driver
