DIY Pawprint Painting
This simple DIY painting is a great way to celebrate and appreciate your favorite veterinarian and to involve your pet in the process. This quick craft is sure to make your veterinary hospital feel loved.
Things you’ll need:
- Your favorite pooch or feline
- Paper
- Pet-safe washable paint (children’s finger paints work well) or an ink pad
- Paint brush
Spread some paint on a flat surface large enough for your pet’s paw. Carefully place their paw on the paint to cover their pads and gently press it down on your paper a few times. If your pet is especially patient, you can paint a whole bouquet!
Wash your pet’s paws right away and allow time for the painted paw prints to dry.
Draw or paint stems and leaves by hand. Get creative! Allow the paint to dry.
Top it off with a personal message for your veterinarian and a thoughtful note.
Happy Veterinarian Appreciation Day and happy crafting!
