8 Adorable Mother’s Day Gifts Using Baby Handprints

You’ve seen how popular Mother’s Day gifts using baby handprints are. Have you ever wondered why?

The answer is simple. Aside from the fact that parents tend to hang on to everything their children make, from macaroni artwork to finger painting masterpieces, handprint gifts have a different meaning to mothers.

While children will only wonder at ever having been so small, mothers will always be reminded of the sensation of a baby’s touch, especially the little hand clinging to her finger. This gift reminds them of a unique and precious bond with her child.

Here are 8 of the classiest, most adorable Mother’s Day gifts using baby handprints we could find:

1. On mamapapabubba.com we found this incredible yearly handprint canvas which you can start at any age. We recommend starting as early as possible and building the canvas from the bottom up by placing a small tile as low as possible when the baby is crawling, then one above it when baby starts walking, and so on. This way, you get a growth chart as well; two Mother’s Day gifts using baby handprints in one. If you’re worried about the tiles being too low and at the reach of the baby, make sure it cannot be removed from the wall or that it cannot harm the baby. The best idea would be to do this in an area where the baby does not have free access.

1. The handprint family tree is another one of our favorite ideas for Mother’s Day gifts using baby handprints. You can either purchase a tree print with a nice frame like the one on notonthehighstreet.com, or you can do your own. You can paint it on the wall of your house or you can use the pattern for holiday cards whenever your family grows bigger.

Sure, it will not have the factory finish, but it can still be nice to make.
