fingerprint flowers

For Christmas M got an art kit that came with ink pads and a book to make all different kinds of fingerprint animals.  It's pretty cute.  We used those ink pads to create a birthday card for G's Godmother last week. There aren't too many instructions needed but it came out cute so I wanted to share.  Thanks to Pinterest for "thumb-body loves you."

christening favors

Every holiday season in first grade we make snowman ornaments with the kids' handprints.  

When I was thinking of what to do as favors for M's baptism reception party I thought of these ornaments (minus the snowmen).  After a few attempts of making one handprint with a tiny fisted-up hand I decided making 30 would be impossible so I shifted gears and painted M's foot.  I found that mess-ups were easily wiped off the balls with a wet wipe.  We were able to get 30 nice footprints and our guests loved the finished products!
