Santa Footprints - how to make Santa's footprints using baking soda for Christmas. ADORABLE! It takes seconds to do and just a minute to clean up.
Christmas morning is always filled with such anticipation. The first thing the kids always want to know is "Has Santa been?". Well, this year it was obvious that Santa had visited as soon as the girls opened the bedroom door. There on the ground, leading from the front door to the lounge room was a set of footprints. White, glittery, snowy footprints made by someone wearing big boots. Who else other than Santa could have left such prints? Looks like Santa's been! Much like the Easter Bunny this Easter, Santa left a trail of footprints leading from the emergency stairwell in the hallway straight to our Christmas tree. The girls were excited to see that Santa had left footprints and happily hopped along them all the way out our apartment to see where they started. Of course, the were happiest following the footprints to the Christmas tree to see what else Santa had left! Wondering how Santa left such glittery footprints? Here's how you can make your own... What you'll need Glitter Baking soda (aka bicarb soda) Pair of boots Baking tray (larger enough to fit Santa's boots) Water squirter How you do it Start by mixing together your baking soda and glitter in a baking tray or similar. There's no particular ratio. Just mix together until you're happy with the combination to work with your carpet colour. Make sure that the tray is big enough to easily fit at least one boot at a time while your working on the footprints. Everything you'll need to make your Santa footprints Once you're happy with your glitter and baking soda combo it's time to start preparing your "stamp". Squirt a light misting of water over the soles of the boots. Try not to saturate them as too much water will make the baking soda dissolve. A light spritz from a water squirter helps the glitter and baking soda stick to the soles of the boots Once damp, press the boots down into the baking soda and glitter until you get a good covering. Pressing the boots into the glitter and baking soda mix Glittery boot ready for leaving prints You can now press the boot down onto the carpet to leave a print. I found that if I pressed down firmly on the boot it left a good print. Other times I found that I needed to move the boot around a little to get better footprint coverage. I guess it all just depends on the type and colour of carpet you have, the glitter colour you've chosen and how much you want the footprints to stand out. I made the footprints lead out our front door, down the corridor and to the nearest emergency stairwell in our building - which is where Santa entered the building. The carpet in our apartment is quite dark, however the carpet in the corridor is much lighter so I found that I needed to apply a little extra here for it to stand out as much. Stamping Santa's footprints Stamp out a path of footprints leading from your front door, fireplace, back door or where ever else Santa may have entered your house, through to your Christmas tree. I also included a few footprints leading to our advent calendar (where Santa left stocking stuffers) and the dining table where Santa ate his cookies. I didn't stamp footprints leading back out of our apartment but the girls didn't notice this. Maybe next year when they're a little older they might pick up on this! Santa's prints head past the washi tape tree to the real one Santa sure did leave a mess! Now all that's left to do is sit back and watch the excitement on Christmas morning. Santa's prints lead all the way from our nearest emergency stairwell Lola checks out the footprints in the hallway Santa has longer legs than me! Ava was pretty excited to follow Santa's footprints!
Did you know that animal footprints, also called tracks, can reveal a lot about the creature that left them? For example, a fox’s tracks form a straight line because they place their back foot directly into the print of the front foot to conserve energy while walking. On the other hand, rabbits leave tracks that resemble a "Y" shape, as their powerful hind legs land ahead of their front feet when they hop! Identifying tracks is a fun way to learn about local wildlife!

These fun "Snowy" Floridian Reindeer Footprints were inspired by a conversation with a friend. He was telling me about how they used to make reindeer footprints in the snow on Christmas Eve when they lived up north, which reminded me of when one of my other friends made Easter Bunny footprints with flour across her…
