Have each child take turns sitting in a chair. Have the seated child take off her shoes and socks, and raise her feet. Carefully paint brown paint on to the bottom of the child’s feet or have her step on a sponge which is filled with paint or mud. Place a piece of paper next to the chair and have the child stand on the paper. After the print has been made, have the child step into a bowl of warm, soapy water and wash her feet.
