How to Draw Baby Feet

Drawing your baby's feet creates a keepsake.

Drawing your baby's feet can create a lovely memory for you and something to look back at when your baby is older. The biggest changes in the feet will occur in the first three years of your baby's life, so drawing his feet while he's young gives you a greater comparison. Drawing your baby's feet is easy to do, though doing so when he's in a calm mood makes it much easier.

Things You'll Need

• Baby
• Blunt pencil
• Paper

Instructions

1. Snuggle and cuddle your baby until she's in a calm mood, making it easier for you to draw her feet. If your baby is struggling, expect a difficult time drawing an accurate outline of her feet.

2. Have someone hold your baby in a standing position. Place a piece of good quality paper underneath his foot. Do this on a flat surface, such as wooden flooring or a table. Carpet isn't a suitable surface as your pencil will likely puncture the paper.

3. Hold your baby's foot loosely in place with one hand. Using a blunt pencil, draw around one foot. Repeat the process for her other foot.

Tips & Warnings

• The design can be enhanced, adding toes and toenails, after you have the basic outline. Show creativity by displaying your drawing. Cut it out and stick it in a baby book or cut place in a frame that you can hang in the nursery.

• Use a blunt pencil, so you don't accidentally hurt your baby's feet.
