Ages: 2 years and up

Materials

• 4 pieces of decorative paper (ours are 8 1/2 by 9 inches)
• Tape
• Pencil
• Child's shoe

• Card stock
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Clear Con-Tact paper

Instructions

1. Lay the papers facedown in a row so they overlap slightly, then tape them together.

2. Trace one of your child's shoes onto a piece of card stock. Cut out the shape and use it as a template to cut out 7 more soles.

3. Using a glue stick, adhere the card stock soles, in pairs, to the front of the papers (to make a pair, simply flip one sole so the toes face each other). Write "left" or "right" on each sole to encourage early word recognition, then cover the entire surface with clear Con-Tact paper for easy cleanup.
