Parent Club Holiday Gifts - Handprints - Part 1 of Series

Is anyone else in the Parent Club starting to think about holiday gifts? As promised, we give you Part 1 in our series of Parent Club Holiday Gifts. This is a point & click, personalized gift idea for family, teachers or hostess presents.

HAND PRINTS

You need;

A hand print of your child's hand
scanner/or printer
local print shop or photo centre

Timeline: 1-3 weeks

Start off making a hand print (this can be difficult if your child likes to squish the paint on the paper). Optional; write your child's name and age at the bottom of the artwork.

Either print the hand print or scan it to create a jpeg.

Point & click. Through a print shop you can create greeting cards with the hand print as the imagery. At a store, like Staples, you can order on-line. The cards come with envelopes and work out to being about $1/card.


At your local print shop, you can have the hand print jpeg put on coffee mugs, mouse pads or t-shirts. Again, you can point & click during nap time.

Hand prints are fun to make and fun to give. Check out the comments regarding other handprint ideas.
