Craft: Thank You for Teacher

April 28, 2022

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 2–6, 2022


Thank You for Helping Me Grow Butterfly Picture

Help your child create a sweet gift for Teacher Appreciation Week.

He or she will have a ton of fun creating a thank you for helping me grow butterfly picture using footprints.

What you'll need to make the butterfly picture:

  • A sheet of plain, white paper 
  • Clean feet
  • A piece of cardboard 
  • Washable paint
  • Paint brushes
  • Markers

Optional additions include:

  • Pom poms 
  • Gems 
  • Buttons 
  • Stickers

Directions


Work together with your child to create a workspace area.


Lay a piece of cardboard on a kitchen floor or hardwood floor. Place washable paints and paint brushes beside the piece of cardboard, and have your child sit beside it with socks removed.


Now the fun begins! Have your child dip a paint brush into a chosen paint color and start painting the bottom of their foot. 


Next, press the painted foot onto the piece of paper so it makes a footprint with the paint.


Repeating with the other foot, make sure the new print is facing the opposite direction of the first one. The goal is to have the footprints look like butterfly wings.


Lastly, have your child write a sweet thank-you note to his or her teacher. This picture says, “Thank you, Ms. Chrissy, for helping me grow” and is signed by the artist.
