Baby Memories To Last A Lifetime
Every new parent is amazed at their child’s tiny, perfect, little hands and feet. One of the best gifts for new parents is a baby footprint kit. These kits come in two varieties and both can make a wonderful baby gift. One variety is a clay model and the second is an ink stamp model. Either option can serve as a great baby gift and also provide new parents with a bit of peace of mind as well.
Baby footprints can be used like adult fingerprints to identify babies. By taking a casting, or an ink imprint, of your baby’s foot you have a wonderful memory item as well as something which could be useful if something were ever to happen to your baby. While we all hope and pray our children are safe there is always a remote possibility something could happen, and being prepared is a smart thing to do. It is always a good idea to be prepared and proactive when it comes to those we love.
The clay baby footprint kits tend to come with either clay or a papier-mâché type substance. Generally you will add water and make a wet clay like substance to take the casting in. This casting will later dry and become hardened. The hardened cast can then be put into a picture frame, a shadow box or something similar to be treasured as the years pass.
The ink baby footprint kits generally come with a non-toxic, plant-based, ink which you can use and then wipe off, or wash off, of your baby’s foot. The ink comes in a variety of colors and you have unlimited options of what to make the footprints on. Some people make plates or other objects, while others simply stamp their baby’s feet onto cardstock and then frame the picture.
Which ever option of baby footprint kit you choose they really do make great gifts. Nothing makes better memories than being able to look back at a handprint or footprint of your baby and see how small they were and how big they have grown up to be. |
