Here's a great post from Nancy Parker of how you can create artwork with your kids and create permanent memories at the same time. I'm definitely doing the Christmas tree feet with Bean for Christmas 2013 :)

If you have ever seen a handprint turkey on the Thanksgiving décor of a home, then you know exactly what I am talking about. It is a very old tradition to have children dip their hands or feet in paint and create cute artistic designs with the prints made. However nowadays people have come up with all kinds of cool ideas for handprint, footprint, and even fingerprint art. Some of those ideas are:
Handprints
- Flowers
- Elves, gnomes or leprechauns
- Elephants
- Snowmem
- Owls
- Turkeys (of course!)
- Monkeys
- Birthday cake
- Angels
- Flag
- Butterfly
- Peacock
- Sheep
- Caterpillar
- Crab
- Ghost
