Show mom she's your sunshine with this adorable foot print craft!It’s Mother’s Day this Sunday! Dads, did you drop the ball and forget to take the kids out for gifts? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! What better present than a piece of art that captures the memories of your little one’s precious feet?

INSTRUCTIONS
