Father’s Day Footprints Craft

Since Father’s Day is coming up this month I thought I would share one of the crafts that my daughter made for Father’s Day a few years ago. It is so cute and so very easy to make and guaranteed to put a smile on Daddy’s face. (My husband keeps his hanging up in his office.)


All you need is a piece of sand paper, some nuts & bolts, twine, glue, a hole puncher and the poem (which is printed below). I do have a link to the poem here, but I think it is just so cute that I wanted to include it here as well.

Footprints
“Walk a little slower Daddy,”
Said a child so small.
“I’m following in your footsteps
and I don’t want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they’re hard to see;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.
Someday when I’m all grown up,
You’re what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who’ll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you.”

Instructions: Cut the sand paper and adhere the printed poem. Use glue to attached the nuts and bolts. Punch two holes in the top and use twine to hang.
