Hand and Foot Print Art

There aren't many art and craft activities that you can do with your baby, but one of the things you can do, that makes really cute works of art are baby foot and hand print pictures. Over the past few months, I have experimented with a few different ideas for Ollie’s hand and foot prints.

This type of art is great as it captures how small your little one was - its true you really do forget how small they were and they grow so fast that it can be hard to remember just how little they were. Its so much nicer than a boring ink print and is a lovely way to spend time with your little one. The hardest part is getting a good print from your baby, footprints are the easiest as babies tend to close their hands up. However as baby grows older you will find that the hand-prints are easier to get.  You need a certain amount of patience and it is worth remembering that some children will not like the feel of the paint and will not be happy to do this activity.

TIPS

- Make sure you have everything prepared before you start, you need to have all your paint and paper and clean up crew on standby as the last thing you want is to find  is that you don’t have something you need when you have a baby covered in paint. This includes having mixed up the colours you want.

- Make sure you protect everything, its amazing how far paint travels and gets on everything. You can use newspaper to protect your table and floor or a wipe clean mat or tuff tray.

- Make sure baby is wearing old clothes or is just in nappy/vest before going anywhere near paint.

-If possible have someone there to help, with Ollie we have one of us holding him and the other applying the paint and getting the print. It is possible to do on your own but you might want to put baby in a high-chair or bumbo so you don’t have to hold your baby as well as get the print.

-We also used found it easy to use a cotton make up pad or cotton wool to apply the paint to his feet/hands, it covered more surface area than a paint brush and gives a fairly even coating of paint on the foot/hand -Before we started with the paint we made sure we had a warm, bubble bath ready and waiting so that when finished we could pop Ollie into the bath for a clean up.  One of us would bathe him and the other would clean up the amazing amount of mess left behind.

- I will warn you that a lot of mess is generated for very short time of doing this activity.

-Allow the paint to dry fully before drawing on any detail to the print.

-Always write the date or age your baby was when you created your picture that way you can really see the change in the size of your baby’s prints as he/she grows. Maybe even stick on a picture of your baby. 

-On days that Ollie isn't as co-operative as he could be, we distract him with nursery rhymes to give his focus on something other than his hand/ foot being held

-I tend to make a few prints rather than just one and then choose which one has come out best as you may find that some smudge or don’t work as well. -Enjoy making memories with your little one and let your creative juices run free!!  Foot and hand print art is a great way to bond with your baby and a great way to make home made cards/gifts for family and friends.  Generally this activity goes down really well and your little one will hopefully love the feel of the paint. We let Ollie play with it and get right in despite the mess it makes. He really enjoys these messy activities. Do make sure that the paint is non-toxic and watch to make sure your little one doesn't try and put the paint in their mouths. This is an example of one of our hand and footprint art works. We used the theme of Monsters Inc. We wanted to include a picture of Ollie in this picture so made him into a character from the movie.
