Winter is the perfect season to create Footprint Penguin art with acrylic paint, canvas, and a cozy sock-covered foot from a child you love.
Footprint Penguin Art:
Shared below is a winter craft that is just as adorable. I loved making this Penguin Footprint art with my son, and I think you will enjoy it too!
To make this craft you will need:
- 8″ x 10′ canvas panel
- acrylic paint (white, black, grey, blue)
- pencil
- child’s shoe or sock-covered foot
- paintbrushes
After gathering supplies, trace your child’s shoe or sock-covered foot on the canvas panel. Within the shoe, sketch a drawing of a penguin chick. I added flat wings, a beak, eyes, and the outline of the penguin chick’s feathers.
Begin painting the footprint penguin chick. I started with black paint as to define the areas that needed more contrast.
Fill in the penguin chick’s body and beak with grey paint. My son enjoyed mixing various shades of grey and choosing the one he thought was best suited for a penguin chick.
Paint the penguin chick’s face white. If desired, use blue and white paint to create a snowy scene for the penguin. I used the round wooden end of a paintbrush to create snow, but my son chose to use his fingertip.
Use white and dark grey paint to add highlights and shades to the penguin chick’s body. When the white paint on the penguin’s face is dry, use the round wooden end of a paintbrush to dot on two black eyes. If you want your painting to be silly and cartoonish, use plastic wiggly eyes instead!
