Terry P, this is an oldie but goody for sure.
I could substitute the hand prints for either puppy or dog paw prints, and add the words puppy or dog in the poem.

Oh this sounds so cute!

We did something like this with the nursery school kids.

We used a 6 inch square white bathroom tile, and a painted hand.

There was a poem that went along with it...  Let me see if I can locate
it...

Ah, here it is!

"My dirty little fingerprints
I've left on every wall,
And on the drawers and table tops,
I've really marked them all.
But here is one that won't rub off,
I'm giving it to you,
Because I'm thankful for a (mother, father, brother, sister) just like
you!"

"Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small,
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls.
But everyday I'm growing,
I'll be grown up someday,
And all these tiny handprints
Will simply fade away.
So here's a final handprint
Just so you can recall,
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small."

Thanks for asking for my fun projects again this year.  I have no little
Grand Kids any more so I sure miss doing all these crazy things. So let me
know how any ideas you use work out.

I couldn't sleep last night. I have no amazing plans for Father's Day this
year. But here is one we did several years ago. The kids and Grand Kids
remember this every time Father's Day is mentioned.

We painted the kids foot prints coming up the driveway to the porch. No!! it
isn't hard. Just a bit messy. So be sure and tell your Daughter in Law to
bring some old clothes for the kids. lol

First; put poster paint on a cookie sheet. If you have several kids you
could use two colors on two sheets.

Next; fill a dish pan with soapy water for washing feet at the porch.

Now; you are ready to have the little guys put their feet in the paint and
walk, probably they will want to run, to the porch. The paint is a bit
slippery at first so hold on to them for a bit.

Now; it is time to wash those feet. That is fun in itself.

This isn't for you? not a problem. You can do the same thing but let the
kids walk on a large piece of paper. Wouldn't it be fun to tape the feet
pictures to the ceiling?

You don't have a big roll of paper? Run, don't walk to the newspaper office
in your town. If you walk they will probably be closed. Most newspapers are
online now and this project just won't work on a computer screen. lol

Newspapers sell or give away the ends of rolls of paper for use with kids.
The smallest roll has an amazing amount of paper on it. This paper is
indespensable.

Is this project still to much for you?  Just paint little hands. You can use
a piece of wood to print the hands. I tacked mine to the wall coming up the
steps. Figured hand prints would be there anyway. That was probably
dangerous. The kids loved to measure all the prints to find where theirs
fit.

I hope this idea will be useful to you. If not I hope it made you laugh or
gave you a new idea. Please share any additions you might have.

PS the paint is supposed to wash off with the first rain. But mine lasted
over a month. I wish we had used a paint that would never wash off now.

Henrietta
