Directions:
1. Begin by applying a generous amount of yellow paint to the child’s foot.
2. Press the foot firmly to the piece of paper. Lift slowly. Take a finger and apply some paint to it. Next to the footprint, make a finger print to look like the Sneetches beak.
3. When the yellow paint has dried, glue on your pair of googly eyes.
4. Paint the wood star shape with your green paint. Add two coats if needed. Allow some time to dry.
5. Finally, glue the star over the belly of the foot print Sneetch.
