Ideas for Making Baby Ink Handprint A wonderful idea for a scrapbook page is to use an Old MacDonald's Farm background. Use a glue gun to fashion felt cutouts that will give the pages a touchable feel. Cut out images of ducks, sheep, cows, pigs, chickens, and other barnyard characters. Glue on toy eyes to the animal cutouts. Pictures of baby and inked handprints can liven up the page. A border made of animal paw prints would be ideal! Baby Steps on how to make baby ink handprint There are kits available, which contain ink, which is non-toxic and safe to use with baby. Handprint kits come complete with frames, acid-free mats in a variety of colors, and different colored inks. Create a page placing the inked handprint in the corners of the paper or below the baby's picture and/or birth announcement details. Make your own photo frame if the baby ink handprint is to be added to a scrapbook page. You may want to practice a few times with scrap paper so you do not waste the page you want to go in the scrapbook. Wait until he or she is not in a fussy mood or make the ink prints when they are asleep! After choosing which paper you want to use, carefully press baby's small hand to the inkpad. It is up to you if you want to print both hands or only one. Do not worry, the inks are acid-free and wash off easily with baby oil or using a baby wipe. Now place baby's inked hand gently to the paper. The ink will transfer every tiny line in your baby's hand perfectly to page. Parents often wish when they look back that they would have created more keepsakes of their children. When babies are little, it is hard to realize how fast the time goes by! Making baby ink handprint is a small reminder of that special time before your precious newborn is all grown up. You may want to add your hand or Dad's as well to the page besides baby's. Older siblings will love this project and want to lend a helping hand! Preserving baby ink handprint Making baby ink handprint and preserving it in clay molds is another great idea. There are kits available to make a clay impression or 3D cast of baby's hands. Modern casting materials are completely safe because it is made from a natural seaweed derivative.

The kits are very easy to use by simply pressing baby's hands into the soft material. * Another suggestion for a title page could be Over the River and Through the Woods. Grandma will really appreciate a scrapbook page dedicated to going to grandmothers in style! Embellish with photos from baby's outings to visit relatives and friends.
