[…] You can simply wrap up the materials required so the receiver enjoys the opportunity to decorate their own shoes OR you can have your child personally decorate them and give them as a gift. Possum had a great time decorating a pair of shoes she will be giving to her older cousin. As she created the wonderful markings that a toddler does, we talked about colours and described the types of swirls and stripes she was making on the canvas shoe. This is all very helpful in developing language development and Possum’s knowledge of words. This activity, also found here on Mom to 2 Posh Lil Diva’s, actually required a fair amount of coordination. Firstly, to hold the shoe in one hand, then keep it steady and use a coloured marker in the opposite hand to create the decoration. Both hands were doing well to improve Possum’s fine motor skills. Finally the decorating was complete and Possum gave them a little test run. 😉 I think she did a fabulous job and I could tell that she really enjoyed herself throughout the activity. What gifts have you made for friends or family? See another gift idea here! […]

Thanks Bec.
I really liked writing a message from my baby to their grandparents. It was very special and touching for those who received their piece.
Here’s a great idea for turning those footprints into artwork. We did this for my mom, aka Nana, for Mother’s Day last year and she LOVED it! 🙂 http://media-cache-ec6.pinterest.com/upload/176484879117367766_kCjmvLXa.jpg
