Hello, My little girl is 7 months and I have been doing her feet on plates and decorating them with acrylic paints but recently I done a flower pot for Mother’s day and noticed that the prints are coming off or even chipping. What else can I use that is safe but will stay on the surface? Because I have even baked the items and I am still getting all of the chipping and wearing off ( HELP!!!

Great question @Brenda, I use whatever paint they offer at the paint your own pottery place and then wash it off right away. Sorry I don’t have better info.

I tried this with her hands. Terrible idea. The feet, however, seem like they might be a LOT easier. Maybe we’ll try that instead. Hands seem to go in the mouth more often than feet. And fingers curl more than toes…feet cannot make fists. I should have thought of this!

So far so good, I pick up the finished products this weekend. I found it easy to keep my little one in his carseat, paint his foot and bring the tile up to stamp it. He stirred, but went back to sleep- success! I’m hoping they make good grandparent gifts for the holidays. Looking forward to more activities!

We did this for my mother in law and did every grandchild’s footprint on a plate with their name.

Making a notable piece of pottery with footprints is important, fun, messy and so joyfully painful to look at in 4 or 5 years when their giant seeming feet are all over everything.

Good challenge.
