Footprint activities can be loads of fun. And kids can enjoy doing them. Plus this is a really fun activity to do for dinosaurs!<\/p>\n
You can work on learning about how different footprints can be done by similar feet.<\/p>\n
Recently the girls went to Dinosaur State Park<\/a> and saw dinosaur foot prints. <\/p>\nAs a follow up we made our own track wave at home. It was super simple and easy to do! It is a mix of craft and gross motor at the same time.<\/p>\nWhat we used for the track wave activity:<\/h2>\n\nroll of craft paper<\/a><\/li>\nmasking tape<\/a><\/li>\nblack paint<\/li>\n2 paper plates<\/li>\nnews paper<\/li>\nfeet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWe used the masking tape<\/a> to hold the paper in place!<\/p>\n<\/div>\nHow we did this dinosaur footprint activity <\/h2>\nI had them put a foot on each plate. Two plates made it easier for them to get the paint all over their feet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nMy oldest walked across the paper. We looked and talked about her prints on the paper.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nMy middle walked across. We looked at how different and similar the two tracks on the paper were.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nMy oldest walked back on tiptoes. This was to simulate the dinosaurs running across in the water.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nMy middle walked back on tip toes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nBoth had a great time doing this. After the feet were cleaned up we looked at our track wave. We talked about the difference we saw between just walking and walking on tiptoes.<\/p>\nYou can also talk about sizes of the prints with different sizez of feet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nA fun activity I can see us doing again!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
