Use Baby Handprint Crafts to capture your baby's early innocence.



Upromise.com		 There are several baby handprint crafts that you and your child can enjoy.  When deciding on what baby handprint crafts you and your child want to create, make sure you have fun.  Sometimes baby handprint crafts can be tedious and time consuming, so make sure your fun does not get distracted by the time it takes to make it.

Molding your baby’s little hand is a popular choice when making baby


handprint crafts.  You can by a kit or you can make it yourself!  To be honest, my family has never made their own mold for casting, so I will not give you advice on that!  However, you can Google “homemade casting” or “how to make handprint casting” and you will see instructions on how to make the material. 

Baby handprint crafts are fun, especially when you capture the tiny print in a frame.  You can buy handprint ink, paint or a stamp to press the image onto a mat.  If you do not have the material, trace your child’s hand with a pencil and then color it in.  After you have captured you baby’s little print, it is a great idea to add a poem to make it even more precious.  There are several poems floating on the internet for you to use or you can make up your own!

Other baby handprint crafts include stamping the tiny hand on a pillow or ceramic tile for a keepsake or for hanging in the nursery.  You can also enjoy baby handprint crafts by tracing the hand onto a shirt or construction paper.  A popular baby handprint craft uses the

handprint as the base for a picture of a turkey or image of their choice. Similar keepsake crafts you can make for your baby are a baby footprint kit and baby handprint kit.

Getting your child to stay still while you get their print is challenging!  If you have a small child, wait until they are sleeping to make baby handprint crafts.  When they are sleeping, you can easily maneuver their hand.  The older your children are, the easier it is to get them to cooperate!
The greatest joy of baby handprint crafts is keeping it for yourself to enjoy and treasure and keep the finished project for your child to enjoy when they are older.  It is always a great feeling to look back and see just how tiny you used to be!
