Baby Ink Footprint
One of the images new parents cherish most when bringing their baby home from the hospital is the ink prints of their infant's footprints or handprints. Here are some creative ideas to showcase your baby's ink footprint that will compliment the infant's room, a scrapbook, or baby announcement cards.
If you want to send out announcements about your new baby's arrival to all your friends and family, including the baby ink footprint in the invitation is a nice touch. It will give your loved ones who are not able to share in this special moment with you a sense of new baby's presence, and it's very cute to look at. Even if you're sending digital invitations, you can scan the image of the baby ink footprint to send to all your friends, along with a photo of the baby and birth information, such as the baby's weight and length, and color of eyes and hair.
You can also use the image of your baby's ink footprint to decorate the infant's room. Using a replica of the footprint to use as a border for the walls or to decorate the baby's supplies, such as the changing table or the diaper hamper is a great way to give your infant's room a personal touch. You can use a variety of colors, and can position the images wherever you want them. For instance, using the same color in a different shade to apply your child's footprints to the wall will give the nursery an understated by original feel. Of course, you can frame your baby’s footprints and place them in the nursery along with the baby's birth certificate and first photo. There are a number of frames in various materials for you to choose from, and if you don't find a frame that will compliment the baby ink footprints or the nursery, you can always make one yourself if you like.
Making ink footprints with your older children can be a fun and crafty activity as well. Foot and handprints are a great way to chart your child's growth each year, and older siblings will have fun making footprints and comparing the size with the new baby's. For more information on fun crafts to do with your children or other ways to make your baby's ink footprints stand out, you can visit your local library or craft shop for great ideas.
