I was talking to my friends at work about holiday traditions and we came up with a of couple easy,but fun, ideas. Warning...Some of these will require you to vacuum after.
Easter- M's husband used to do Easter Bunny footprints when her kids were little. You can cut out a stencil of a bunny footprint using construction paper. Then you lay the stencil down and use baby powder to make the footprint. You could use the footprints as a path to the Easter Basket.
Christmas-At V's house the Gingerbread Man used to try and steal presents on Christmas. In the morning there would be a trail of cookie crumbs to where the Gingerbread Man hid the presents he tried to steal.
St. Patrick's Day- When we were little, one year my mom cut out tons of little green footprints (Leprechaun's prints) and left us a trail to follow. It led to a Leprechaun trap we set. Of course the trap had sprung, but the Leprechaun escaped. His prints led all through house, where little green presents were left for us, things were turned upside down (Pictures, Chairs, Etc), cupboard doors all opened, and even the milk was dyed green. The Leprechaun even left us all a kiss on our cheeks (mom must have gave us a little green dot with a marker when we were sleeping)
***You can set traps for all of these, but of course they are all to smart to be caught :)
Does anyone else have any other fun "Footprint" ideas for any other holidays?

my sister arica said that her in-law's family mix water and cornstarch together then have santa step in the mixture and track to the tree and stockings from his entrance to make snowy footprints.
