Feet Day

Today we are going to discover the fun things we can do with our feet.

1. Trace your feet on a piece of paper. Color and decorate them any way you want.
2. Trace your feet several times and cut them out. Make a path around the house. Tape your cut out feet down on the ground and have fun walking on them. You could have them lead to certain rooms of your house.
3. Trace your feet on different colors of paper and make patterns out of the them.
4. Have the children trace their mom's, dad's, siblings, or caregivers feet and compare the sizes.
5. Print the names of each persons foot you traced.
6. Trace your favorite shoes and decorate them. Punch holes in the paper shoe. Take some shoe string and practice lacing and tying.
7. Put numbers on the feet and play a number game with a dice. Roll the dice and go to the foot with that number on it.
8. Introduce counting by 2's and working with pairs.
9. Have your child think of a game to play with feet.

Infant Feet Time.

1. Trace your babies feet and use them to decorate cards for family members.
2. Message and tickle your baby's feet.
3. Of course, everyone knows "This Little Piggy Went To Market".
(This little piggy went to market, (Touch and wiggle big toe.)
(This little piggy stayed home, (Touch and wiggle the 2nd toe.)
(This little piggy had roast beef, (Touch and wiggle the 3rd toe.)
(This little piggy had none, (Touch and wiggle the 4th toe.)
(And this little piggy went wee, wee, wee, all the way home! (Touch the littlest toe.)
