I loved the idea, because not only is it a fun activity that the girls will love to look back on someday, it can also be artwork! We started out by whipping out a little rainbowy stamp pad and some card stock!
Then I just pressed the stamp pad on their little tootsies! After getting them all inked up, I held their ankle still for a few seconds to wait for them to stop wiggling before I pressed that chubby foot onto the card stock!
And then I just used a couple markers to draw in the body of the butterfly, antennas, and the girls' names!
Do you have any other ideas for baby-crafting?

Those turned out GREAT!!! Well done, Beth!!
You are such a patient mom! Infant rooms at a good daycare are great at sending art home like that!! I have lots more art ideas that I found on pinterest. Miles and I just made pumpkins with finger paint on Sunday...

I should really blog the project :)

Sorry... I'll stop filling up your comments section!
Love! They turned out great!
Those are so cute!!! What a great idea!
Definitely put them in the living room - they'll be seen more by guests and you can admire them even while the tots are napping. :)
Thanks everybody! And thanks for the ideas Kelly! I've really been wanting to do some handprint ideas like this

But the girls' little hands are always in tight fists! even if I pry them open, they're just tense little fingers, and go right back into fists. Why are my babies so tense?! Stress?!?!
Foot crafts with infants are the way to go! ;o) Upside down white footprints turn into cute ghosts for Halloween. I also made really cute papier mache 1st Christmas ornaments last year for the grandparents by turning an upside-down baby footprint into a santa hat, with a little white pom pom right on top.
um.... so what is astounding to me here is that their footprints are so different! I mean, they are so different, but it's interesting anyways :)
Those turned out so cute! I like yours better than the original. :) Your handwriting is fabulous!
Any ideas for a footprint that looks more boyish?
