hands down fun

most of the handprint crafts out there involve tracing your kid’s hand and cutting it out to make it into turkey feathers or flower petals, depending on the time of year. all super-cute ideas, but i do like a good old-fashioned painted handprint.

my daughter is always a bit weirded out at first by her hands getting messy with paint (even when fingerpainting, though she’s warming up to this whole messy art idea.) once she gets into it, she’s into it.

nothing like preserving the cuteness of tiny hands in vivid colors.

these always make awesome, personal framed gifts or cards for family and friends. i also love the idea of putting them on canvas, as per the item below from red envelope. (please, this is a kit? you can make this yourself!)
