Foot Loose and Fancy Free...

Now that she's actually going to school, BigM has been given some homework: to have each family member trace his or her foot, decorate it and glue it to a giant piece of black construction paper. They are going to take everyone's page and make a giant book about feet with it to send home with each student for one night. (It is assignments like these that make me want to homeschool. I'm just kidding, Ms. Mary Lynn and Ms. Emily, I'm sure it would make much more sense if I were a student in your class.)

So anyway, today's afternoon craft project was "Decorate Your Family's Feet Day", so I asked BigM what she wanted to decorate said cut outs with. "Stickers and glitter glue." Gotcha.
Of course, I knew LM would feel a bit left out, so I set her up at the table with her own set of cut out feet and some stickers.

This is what happens during your first free for all with stickers when you have two OCD parents. My apologies to your future spouse, LM.

She had fun though, and so did BigM.
I'll add pictures of our finished page when the glitter glue is dry. Try hard to contain your excitement.

Thank goodness the plague is over at the Mouse House, glad to see you're back to your senses and dressing the mice alike again.

I'm still giggling at LM's wild experience with the stickers, btw.

maybe the purpose of the feet books (foot books?) is to show the kids that feet come in all different sizes, but they (usually) have 5 toes per foot? maybe? i don't know. maybe to get some hand eye coordination going with tracing?
