In reply to Ann. I'm not sure :) Maybe try looking for tips on a photography blog?

If using a DSLR, what manual settings do you recommend? We will need to do indoors unfortunately due to crappy weather here in Ohio…

I work at a daycare and we put the baby in a high chair and have the paper we are going to paint on on a clipboard. Hold baby’s foot at the ankle with one hand press on paper holding the clipboard from underneath. Nice and easy, grab a wipe and you’re done

In reply to Our Pinteresting Family. Another top tip I got from a kindergarten teacher friend is to mix a little dish soap in with the paint before painting get their hands / feet. It makes it much easier to wash off them

In reply to Unknown. I used Apple Barrel paint. Did you use construction paper, or regular printer paper? That could've affected it, too. Good luck with your Christmas cards!

What brand of paint did you use? I tried doing candy corn with some kids paint that I had on hand a few weeks ago, and the results were nowhere near as good as yours (the colors seemed to soak right into the paper). Love the tips, and can’t wait to try some Christmas cards!

In reply to Dara. When I did it I kept him in the bumbo until I had everything ready. Then I held him when I put the paint on his feet and stamped them on the paper. Hope that makes sense!

Is it best to hold baby and do it or leave baby seated in a bumbo?
