One of the things I hear from other moms, is how hard it can be to get a good print from a younger child because they never sit still long enough. Mine are 3 and under so I’ve found what works best is if you’re trying to get a baby’s footprint or handprint sit them in a high chair or a seat like a Bumbo so that they’re not squirming around.

Also, make sure that you’re not painting their hands, this usually gets too much paint and ends up smearing everywhere. Instead add some paint to a sponge and have them stamp their print onto the paper. That’s a quick tip that has worked wonders for me in the past.

So without further delay – let’s grab some paints, some blank canvases and then get inspired from our exclusive collection of handprint and footprint art ideas for to kids to make, below! Happy crafting everyone!
