Blog #100

100 Daily Blogs :) Yeahh 

Were so busy getting Taye's birthday party together that I really dont have anything to blog about. So I'm just going to do another Valentines Day Craft Blog :)

What You Will Need:

Small child in play clothing.
Print out of hand print poem (make extra copies).
Optional small photo of child.
Water based paints - finger paints or tempera paints.
Bowl or something to hold the paint.
Brush or sponge to apply paint to child's hand.
Paper towels or some other way to do a quick clean up!

How To Make It:

You can Pick Any Poem Here's An Example:

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing --
I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away


So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small


Put a date here
Love, put child's name here


What to do:

Print the poem (make extra copies).

Apply the paint to the child's hand, then press their hand to the paper near the poem. This might take several attempts to get a good print, patience is the key.

Clean that little hand, before you get hand printed, too!

Personalize with the date and name (if it isn't already).

Let dry, then glue on a photo, if desired.
