Supplies
Shoe Box
Tray
Sand
Plaster of Paris
Bowl
Water
Instructions
Fill your box or tray with sand and sprinkle it with water just so that the sand is held together.
Step into the sand and remove your foot, leaving a nice footprint.
Create a plaster of paris mixture in a bowl. Plaster of paris is available at most craft stores.
Pour the plaster of paris into the footprint-don't overflow the footprint! Let the plaster of paris dry- about a week- and remove your foot. Use it as a scary prop, a paper weight, decorate it- You decide!
