Puppy Art: Thank You Cards!

This craft project comes from 8 months ago when my Golden was still just just a baby!  

Anyways...once we brought Rooney home, so many people stopped by to bring him toys, so we decided to thank them with homemade thank you cards.

First, I must say that I did a lot of online research to find out the safest type of paint to use.  I went with watercolors, which were made for kids and marked non-toxic.  

Next, I mixed together blue and green watercolors to get the color I wanted and then really diluted it with water.

Then, very carefully I put Rooney's paw into the watercolor and then stamped it a couple of times onto the paper.  You can see in the picture below that I also made a mat for a picture frame with his little puppy prints on it.

Lastly, I wiped off his little paws and washed them with lukewarm water until the water was clear.



Here is the final product!  He was so proud of his art work!  Everyone loved their thank you's and I loved making this little memory with my golden boy!
