Glad to know I have started a trend!!

I actualy stole the idea off a girl I knew, she kept them for herself but with the canvasses and paint being so cheap I thought why not...gona be tough to stop DD licking the paint off her hands!!

I hope it isn't cheap... we painted up DDs feet two weeks ago! They are all wrapped up and ready to be delievered

nope great idea - we did it in April for pressies for the year. You can also get blank puzzles so if you have older kids for gifts you can give them a personalised puzzle.

Stealing the idea too! My sister and mum especially would love it. Small canvas with a handprint from DS on - it can be his gift to them. (He's just "bought" my mum a toy tractor for her birthday as they have an in-joke about tractors.)

I'll look so involved and good-mummy and it's your idea!

I think that it sounds like a fabulous idea. Am going to steal it for next year too

Nope, its a great idea!!! we do it at playgroup, not canvas but paper and we laminate with a photo, its a great keepsake.. This time around I finger painted a pic on the paper first, something that applies to the child eg: DD 14 months is Poppy so I painted flowers around the little feet prints...bigger DD got love hearts and DS got a train, they look great. Don't do them too big, people find it much easier to find a place for a small canvas than a big one.
Foot note lol: FEET are heaps easier than hands at a young age.
