    crayola make some as well I think.

    I must be a bit slack but I just used acrylic paint when they were little for footprints. I had hold of their limb for fear of smearing anyway so I went onto the paper and straight onto a wet facewasher , so in a pinch.....

    Briggsy' girl thanks so much! I am totally going to do them on canvas, much better idea I have to go to the reject shop anyway to get some scrap booking type stick on thingos anyway woohooo so excited now! This morning I'm deciding what pics to put on them.

    Kim I also have some of the same fear especially with the hands and they are heading straight for DS's mouth these days lol so it'll be a joint effort with dh for sure!

    Use a kitchen sponge (you can get multiple in a pack really cheap), pop the paint on it, if you have to much paint, just flip it over. Another really effective idea is to put a few different colours on your sponge, so you get a rainbow effect when you do your print. (feet are much easier then hands as well - they tend to make a fist rather then hold their fingers out straight)

    good idea mollycat. I have just gotten home from th shops and I have the paint and the canvas's YAY will be some much fun! I think I will use that sponge idea for the backgrounds then get DS's hands and feet involved and then stick the photos on
