I love handprints whether they’re set in a mold or hand-dipped. There’s something so personal and unique about a child’s handprint that makes it a cherished heirloom. I’ve noticed several different handprint kits for preserving your child’s hand or foot print, but the “And Baby Makes Three” Handprint Kit is the first I’ve seen that makes the project a family affair. Save this project for a free Saturday. Lay out some newspaper or plastic over your kitchen table or take everything out to the patio table. Take some photos of dad and baby and mom and baby, prepare a simple brunch-picnic for during or after the fun - add your own ideas for making this family time memorable.

The kit includes three stacking kits each with plaster, ribbon and direction. The baby’s kit reads, “My Hand Curious and Innocent”, the Mom’s kit reads “Mother’s Hand Gentle and Loving” and the Dad’s Kit reads, “Father’s Hand Strong and Secure” (stand not included).
