You will need:
Thick paper towels
Clear contact paper
Scissors
First you will need a footprint. Have someone put on a pair of shoes ( don't peek), then step into some mud or wet dirt. Walk on a hard, smooth surface such as a kitchen floor. Make sure you ask mom or dad first! Tell them what you are doing.
When you are ready to lift the print, check to see if its wet. If it is, lay a paper towel over it and press down firmly and carefully, taking care not to shift the towel in the process. If it is dry, throughly dampen the paper towel, squeeze out any excess water, then spread it out and lay it over the print.
Now carefully peel the paper towel, then set it aside to dry.
Cut a piece of contact paper to size and cover the print with it.
Compare the tread marks to the bottoms of any suspects shoes and see if you can find the match.
