Baby Freebies

Baby handprint kits are great gifts for birthdays, baby showers, fathers/mothers day or for grandparents. The ideal method to get your baby’s handprint (particularly when they’re too young to understand the concept) is to wait until they’re asleep. Baby handprints come in a whole lot of materials, and can be designed in a number of ways. You are able to even design handprint frames. 

You can find kits for newborns as well as for an older child. Save those handprints or footprints when they’re so teeny tiny. Most kits consist of a  decorative tin, a non-toxic plast solution, ribbon and instructions. Finished product measures 4 half” in diameter. Kits are designed for children ages newborn – 3 years. 

Parents can cherish their newborn’s birth by creating a souvenir hand and foot cast of their baby. A treasured item they’ll love years later! Parents can cherish forever baby’s small handprint.  Kits contain everything needed to form an impression of baby’s hand, together with Plaster of Paris, instructions, a card to record baby’s name plus date. Discover more about baby handprint frames here.

Paint one coat of glaze across the palm and keep the fingers apart so that the fingerprints appear on the tile. Ensure that the hands are steady and then gently press the palm and fingers for the total hand impression. You can also paint baby’s hand with acrylic paint (look for the AP Certified non-toxic seal) and then press firmly onto the center of the canvas. Wash baby’s hand immediately with warm soapy water to take away all the paint. 

Frame the finished print. Frames come in a selection of sizes, colors plus finishes. For a daring impact, you could show one footprint or handprint in a tiny frame. Framed fanciful prints are habitually bestowed as baby gifts on the christening ceremony. These frames can be engraved with the names of the infant and even the date of the holy ceremony.
