Little hands and feet

When my daughter was in daycare, some of my favorite days were when she came home with a keepsake craft with those precious little hand prints!  They make great gifts for family members as well as adorable little pieces of art to hang on the wall.  I was very inspired by this picture of a tree with multi-color hand prints!

We made our own tree art using a pre-printed tree outline.  Instead of hand prints, we used Charlotte's thumb prints!  I helped guide the thumb print placement for the first picture.  Then, I gave Charlotte her very own tree and let her create her own masterpiece.  They turned out really well!  










 Here are some other ideas for fun handprint and footprint crafts from around the internet that we'll have to try soon:
