Feet Painting Outside

 Inspired by a video I saw online of children painting with their feet running across a huge canvas on the ground, I could not wait to try it out at camp. A large canvas was placed on our stage outside. There were two trays at opposite corners of the canvas - one with blue paint, the other with red.
 We took off our shoes and the children started to dip their feet in the paint and walked across. Everyone had a smile on their face as they watched the prints made by their very own feet.
 Sammy sat down in the middle of the canvas and took inventory of the many footprints that had already been made by everyone. Caleb: "More paint Morah, more paint!" We refilled the trays and took turns criss-crossing the canvas. Caleb: "I want blue."
 Avraham-Chaim got paint not just on his feet but also his face. Pretty soon the entire canvas was covered with foot shapes of varying sizes. Luckily the pools were ready for us to wash our feet off as needed.

 When we were finished we hung our masterpiece on the fence. The children were all very proud. "We did that!" - Sammy
